The theme of the National Council for International Healths annual meeting was "Financing Health Services in Developing Countries." The implementation of the global objective of Health for All by the year 2000 via primary health care strategy (PHC) requires the resolution of at least 2 problems: 1) what is the cost of implementing PHC and 2) how can the costs be financed. 9 papers presented at the conference address many financing issues for example demand for health services financing of health services at the local and national level recurrent costs and resource allocation analysis. 2 papers theoretically and empirically analyze the demand for health care in the poor countries of Kenya and the Philippines. One of those papers introduces a demand model for adult outpatient services describes the types of data required for estimating it and presents results of a preliminary estimation. Another 2 papers focus on the problem of recurrent costs. Overall the 9 papers comprise an eclectic set of analytical approaches methodologies country and regional focusses and topics. Taken as a group the papers provide a broad and up to date overview of many aspects of the health care financing problem. Individually they have used analytical rigor and provide indepth insight into various components of the problem. All are relevant in seeking practical answers and strategies to the problem of health care financing which remains 1 of the major implementation problems facing the achievement of the goal of Health for All by the Year 2000. |
