For its level of socioeconomic
development, China has widely been perceived as a country
with an enviable record in public health. Recently, there
are encouraging signs that health has become an important
priority in the government s agenda, bringing multiple
government agencies into a more cooperative relationship,
and providing the Bank greater opportunity to engage the
country in policy dialogues to more effectively in improve
health outcomes and financing in a more equitable and
sustainable way. Since China became a member in 1980, the
World Bank's program of assistance for health has
consisted of 11 projects (involving commitments of 808
million dollars of International Development Association
(IDA) credits and 139 million dollars of International Bank
for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) loans) and 3
economic and sector work (ESW) reviews. This was
complemented by the China network for training and research
in health economics and health financing set up in 1991, and
jointly funded by the Chinese Government and World Bank
Institute (WBI). There have also been various initiatives
supported by the health anchor some of which include tobacco
control, tuberculosis control, and indoor air pollution.
Attempts to increase budget allocations to counties and
townships to improve health systems performance are now
being pursued more aggressively by the Bank. The Bank should
be more involved with upstream policy advice and reaching
the decision-makers who control broader fiscal and economic policies. |
