  • Title: Health financing reform in sub-Saharan Africa: major constraints, goals, and strategies.
    Author: Sekwat A.
    Journal: J Health Care Finance; 2003; 29(3):67-78. PubMed ID: 12635996.
    Abstract:
    Health financing reform became a critical element of public sector reform in sub-Saharan Africa during the past decade. Within the framework of health sector reform, this article reviews the major constraints, goals, and strategies for health financing reform in sub-Saharan Africa. It identifies shrinking budgetary resources, increasing demand for health services, and rising health care costs as the primary factors driving the sub-region's health financing reform agenda. In light of these constraints, the article defines the major goals and the strategies for health care financing reform employed by many sub-Saharan African countries.
