| Summary: | This policy note is designed to support
the development of the health financing strategy in
Tanzania. It is directed at decision makers in the areas of
health and social policy as well as the Ministry of Finance,
which will play a crucial role in integrating the financial
implications of this note into the overall fiscal situation
in Tanzania. It is also hoped that this note will stimulate
debate among interested stakeholders on the best funding
modalities for health and the most appropriate ways to
integrate those modalities. On the basis of the data and
options described in this policy note, the World Bank will
work with authorities and other interested stakeholders to
develop a financing program to support the needed reforms in
these sectors. This policy note provides background
information, cross-country examples, and policy options,
which can all be incorporated into the development of a
comprehensive health financing strategy. It also provides a
framework for looking at the various elements of the health
financing system, and it explores the financial, economic,
and health system implications of a number of the options. |
