| Summary |
The underlying themes of this book are twofold: it emphasises the importance of understanding and strengthening health systems to improve a population's health in low and middle income countries; it promotes the values of equity and the right to health, efficiency, participative and accountable decision-making, and the need for a long-term perspective. These values are examined in relation to governance, policy making and planning, financing, managing, and intersectoral action for health and health service delivery, with a chapter devoted to each. <div. |
