As applicable to any other development paradigm, finance often forms the lifeline of health intervention and therefore, merits prudent considerations. But, government commitment allegedly falls short in healthcare funding in resource poor countries for several reasons, the most conspicuous of them being modest tax revenues limiting spending on healthcare services. This leads to a gap between ideal and affordable investments. Another factor which often escapes the attention of the authorities concerned is the seemingly sub-standard quality of public services and the low motivation of public servants dealing with those services grossly undermining and compromising the value of public investments. The erstwhile evidences are suggestive of manifold issues hinging around the financial aspects of health interventions. This book provides a practical know-how of the issues and dimensions in healthcare financing through suitable examples. Structured into two sections, this book covers the conceptual and generic aspects of healthcare financing, besides providing a close look at the issues and dimensions in healthcare financing through suitable country experiences. This book will be useful for development professionals, policy planners, grass-root level organizations including NGOs devoted to health issues (especially the implementing organizations), administrators and social activists.
