Attacking Inequality in the Health Sector : A Synthesis of Evidence and Tools |
| description |
The overwhelming evidence of
inequalities in health outcomes and in the use of health
services calculated and disseminated by the World Bank and
other development agencies in the last 10 years has
energized global efforts to address the needs of the poor
and socially vulnerable. These efforts have led to a renewed
interest at the global and national levels in both
understanding the causes of health sector inequalities and
developing policies to tackle them. It is time to synthesize
the new knowledge being generated from research and
experimentation on addressing inequality. The main purpose
of this book is to make available the accumulated knowledge
of successful policy and analytical tools in this fight to
reverse the vicious circle of income-poverty and ill health.
The book presents both a practical set of analytical tools
for understanding the causes of inequality in the use of
health services and a menu of proven pro-poor policy
actions. It is based on the evaluation of 14 successful
policy changes in low- and middle-income countries in
Africa, Asia, and Latin America, and a review of the
published literature on inequality in the health sector. |
