| description |
A common approach to reform has been to
identify problems in the system which cause inefficiencies,
ineffectiveness, and insufficient coverage, and then define
solutions. The approach applied in Zambia has rather been to
define standards for a cost-effective system which would be
financially sustainable, and then to determine how to move
from the existing system to the more cost-effective one
envisioned. This has resulted in an approach notable for its
comprehensiveness, the extent to which every aspect of the
system has been open to consideration, and the unique
partnership formed with the donor community. Zambia's
health care system offers tangible evidence that national
commitment can spur the transition from rhetoric to actual reform. |
