Protecting the achievements that have been made over recent years, while continuing to improve a broader range of health outcomes, requires effective management of changes in financial and other institutional arrangements in the health sector.

It builds upon other work that has been done in recent years on health in Vanuatu. The assessment begins with an overview of the prevailing economic and fiscal context and key health outcomes. It then overviews the country’s health system - through its human, physical, and financial dimensions. Finally, it reviews health financing in some detail to identify trends across time; against regional benchmarks; and at both national and subnational and facility levels. The assessment concludes with a summary of policy options. 2018-07-17T19:15:58Z 2018-07-17T19:15:58Z 2018-05 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/716131528786888780/Vanuatu-Health-financing-systems-assessment-spend-better http://hdl.handle.net/10986/30024 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Other Health Study Economic & Sector Work East Asia and Pacific Vanuatu
