The system has experienced health financing and organizational reforms since 2006. Among the notable and common themes underpinning all the health reforms across the different timelines have been the following: the policy commitment continues to be associated with the desire to ensure that resources and health care services are distributed and provided as close to the household or family as possible; and access to quality and affordable health care services continues to be one of the central themes of the reform process.
