I like everything about the book, from the neatness, time of delivery and the cost. I've already recommended it to all my classmates, including those that are not offering Global Health Sector Reform as a course.

By Obioma

This is one book I feel has lasting value, compared to many other references on health policy and reform that quickly seem dated. The authors have a deep grasp of the subject matter, all having been involved in not just research, but in working on various health reform projects in low and middle-income countries. The lessons drawn, however, are applicable to developed countries as well. Particularly good is the treatment of the issue of `equity', explaining what it means as a goal of public policy, and giving clear examples of policy implications. The book does not spend much time on social determinants of health outside of financial barriers to accessing health services faced by various marginalized groups. For instance, it does not discuss in depth how a lack of birth registration, or not having an equivalent proof of citizenship, can exclude persons from accessing health services. Yet, this book covers very well the main issues, and certainly would provide anyone working on health reform, in any country, a solid foundation of knowledge.
Highly recommended.
