Partners for Health Network for Health Reform
Support to Countries in the Process of Health Reform
-----------------------------------------------------
Within the framework of its ongoing support to health sector
development in countries in greatest need, WHO's Division of
Intensified Cooperation with Countries (ICO) has consulted the
national health authorities in a number of countries to identify
issues and problems in implementing health reform with which they
would appreciate assistance.
The countries consulted are all participating in Intensified WHO
Cooperation (IWC), a programme of technical cooperation which is
coordinated by ICO.
The following specific questions have emerged:
1. Under pluralist democratic government, how do we build national
consensus over health sector reforms so that changes are
sustainable beyond the lives of individual governments in power;
the issue is are there "political deliverables" in health sector
reform which would guarantee political acceptability to
politicians?
2. Under conditions of macroeconomic structural adjustment when
the mass of the people face prospects for job loss, and government
budgets increasingly becomes dependent on donor support, what are
the most appropriate financing modalities?
We would very much appreciate advice and comments on the above
issues from member of the Partners for Health Network, who are
willing to share the results of their own experiences of the
process of health reform.
