There are four sections in the report. The first section provides background information. The second section presents a summary of health outcomes, trends, and financing in Egypt; an analysis of inequities in the allocation and utilization of health resources; and an assessment of the efficiency of the delivery of health services. The third section summarizes existing government policies toward the health sector. The fourth section proposes strategies and recommendations for expanding social insurance coverage and enhancing incentives to deliver health services more efficiently and effectively. 2012-06-15T18:42:38Z 2012-06-15T18:42:38Z 2006-01 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2006/01/10123779/egypt-public-expenditure-review-health-policy-note-egypt-public-expenditure-review-health-policy-note http://hdl.handle.net/10986/8175 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Health Sector Review Economic & Sector Work Middle East and North Africa Egypt, Arab Republic of
