Aimed at raising awareness among policymakers about voucher schemes, this book helps identify situations where vouchers may better achieve health objectives and provides guidance on the choices available and the decisions to be made. It highlights some of the pitfalls that voucher schemes have experienced to date, as well as the wide variation in format that a voucher scheme can take depending upon the health problems being addressed and the objectives that the policy-maker wishes to achieve. 2013-08-06T19:34:14Z 2013-08-06T19:34:14Z 2004-08-01 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2004/08/6433778/guide-competitive-vouchers-health 0-8213-5855-3 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/14836 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Publication Publications & Research :: Publication
