Why Is A Systemic View Of Health Financing Necessary?
Abstract
The mobilization of funds for health care has gained prominent attention around the world. Billions of dollars in new funds are flowing into health care in low- and middle-income countries. Sadly, this money might not be transformed into efficient and effective health care to help poor and vulnerable people in these countries unless nations take a systemic approach to health care financing. This paper outlines key health policy issues and argues that choosing health care financing methods with integrated institutional arrangements and payment systems is critical to providing equitable, efficient, and effective health care for all.

“The second factor is that publicly controlled systems tend to be more effective in terms of cost control than systems with plural financers and administrators, a fact that is evident both in health care and pensions (Hsiao, 2007; Palme, 2005).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
