Costs, Financing, and Efficiency of Health Providers in Senegal. A Comparative Analysis of Public and Private Providers. Phases 2 and 3: Field Work, Research Results, and Policy Recommendations

摘要

This report presents the methods, results, and findings of a 1993 study of the costs, financing, and efficiency of private health providers in Senegal. It outlines the role and performance of private health care providers, compares their performance with that of government facilities, and explores the potential advantages of greater public-private collaboration in the provision of health services. The study also seeks to contribute with empirical information to the ongoing ideological discussion about the relative merits of public and private production of health care.
