Zambia Health Sector Public Expenditure Review: Accounting for Resources to Improve Effective Service Coverage (Country Studies) Feng Zhao 1. izdevums

'Zambia Health Sector Public Expenditure Review' portrays the performance of the health sector in Zambia using quantitative techniques. While there have been a number of health sector assessments in the country, they have relied on qualitative and anecdotal evidence for the most part. For the first time, this public expenditure review of the health sector brings together the results of three separate but related analytical efforts: multi-year national health accounts, a public expenditure tracking and quality of service delivery survey, and resource and impact modeling using the Marginal Budgeting for Bottlenecks software. These exercises combine to yield more powerful findings on the weaknesses and prospects of the Zambian health system.
