| Summary: | The Zambian government has outlined an
ambitious rights-based approach to health care provision as
outlined in its national health policy. Specifically, the
government is determined to achieve universal health
coverage (UHC) by providing all its citizens with access to
free quality health care services through the public health
system. To examine trends and patterns in health
expenditures and to identify opportunities for achieving
value for money and equity, the Zambian government, with
technical and financial support from the World Bank and the
U.K. Department for International Development (DFID),
conducted a public expenditure review (PER) of the health
sector. This review covers 2006−2016 and builds on the PER
that was produced in 2009. This report shares the results of
the PER and provides key policy recommendations on how to
address the existing challenges. |
