Health systems in Sub-Saharan Africa
have changed profoundly over the last 20 years. The economic
crisis of the 1980s and 1990s rattled public health care
systems, which were largely holdovers from the colonial and
postcolonial eras. The later wave of structural adjustments
and public sector reforms wrought further change. As African
economies opened to market based approaches, the private
sector became a sizable source of health care service. Today
about half the health expenditures in Africa are private,
and private providers play a major role in the delivery of
outpatient services. This is draws on the lessons,
knowledge, and data gathered by the World Bank's Africa
Region Human Resources for Health Program. For the first
time, the various complexities of Human Resources for Health
(HRH) labor markets are addressed comprehensively in one
volume. Given the increasing demand in countries for strong
health workforces that can help achieve universal health
coverage; we hope this book will be beneficial to
researchers, policy makers, and practitioners who are trying
to develop evidence-based HRH interventions to achieve this end. |
