Improving Allocative Efficiency in Zimbabwe’s Health Sector : Results from the Health Interventions Prioritization Tool

The country of Zimbabwe has seen some important improvements in key health outcomes since 2009. However, despite progress in some areas of the health sector, the country did not meet its Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and current progress fall...

As is often the case, the poor and rural populations in Zimbabwe bear a disproportionate burden of disease and health risks. The situation is compounded by national economic challenges and health sector spending inefficiencies that have resulted in households bearing an increasing share of health sector financing, mainly through out-of-pocket expenditures.

It provides a technical foundation to further develop an essential health benefits package. However, HIPtool, at this stage in development, still has strong limitations, which are outlined along with results in this report. 2021-06-08T19:25:13Z 2021-06-08T19:25:13Z 2021 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/792101622706758975/Improving-Allocative-Efficiency-in-Zimbabwe-s-Health-Sector-Results-from-the-Health-Interventions-Prioritization-Tool http://hdl.handle.net/10986/35711 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Other Health Study Africa Africa Eastern and Southern (AFE) Zimbabwe
