Financing of health systems to achieve the health Millennium Development Goals in low-income countries
The Lancet, 02/01/2010
Fryatt R et al. – The various mechanisms reviewed and finally recommended all had different characteristics, some focusing on specific problems and some on raising resources generally. Contentious issues included the potential role of the private sector, the rights–based approach to health, and the move to results–based aid. The challenges and disagreements that arose during the work of the Taskforce draw attention to the many issues facing decision makers in low–income countries. International donors and recipient governments should work together to improve the evidence base for strengthening health systems, increase long–term commitments, and improve accountability through transparent and inclusive national approaches.
