| Summary: | Vietnam is changing rapidly
economically, with parallel shifts in epidemiology and
demographics. There have also been significant policy shifts
in recent years, including in the health sector. The
combined effects of these transitions pose some risks to the
sustainability of essential public health services, and will
continue to put upward pressure on health spending. This
report analyzes how Vietnam can maintain a sufficient level
of public spending on health to sustain and further good
health outcomes and respond to new health challenges. |
