Community-Based Evidence about the Health Care System in Rural Vietnam. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, May 2008, Pages: 332
The author aims to provide insights into the rural health system in Vietnam ten years after health sector reform was launched, through assessing the availability of health care services, patterns of access of services when people are ill, the cost of care and the performance of public and private providers. The community-based evidence reported identifies the need to strengthen the current system to better protect the poor and to improve the quality of basic curative care services in general. There are some signs indicating that Vietnam is moving ahead in reforming the system to be more pro-poor, but there are also signs that the private sector is expanding its role and control of the health care market. To help the government make timely adjustments to their policies to protect the poor, a study with a sentinel site approach to follow-up the impact of the social and health sector reform policies is proposed.
