Health Systems in Low and Middle Income Countries
Wenhui Mao
Description from DukeHub
Health systems in low and middle income countries are analyzed applying five dimensions: Stewardship and Client Interaction, Financing, Service Provision, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Leadership and Ethics. Health systems are idiosyncratic to their history, economics, politics and geography. Comparisons can be made on financing, organization of care providers, client interaction/interface, access/quality/cost and outcomes such as health status of populations, preventative care and client satisfaction. 7-9 health systems are presented to demonstrate the framework. Student teams apply the framework to a selected country.
