| Summary: | This article reports on a vision of
health improvement that challenges African countries and
their external partners to rethink current health
strategies. The report stresses positive experiences in
sub-Saharan Africa and concludes that far greater progress
in improving health is possible than has been achieved in
the past - even within existing resource constraints. On the
basis of experience with well functioning health care
systems in a number of countries, the report proposes that a
basic set of health services can be provided in low-income
Africa at an annual cost of $13 per person. This report
illustrates the costs and benefits involved, casting new
light on the advantages of health reform. |
