Primary tabs
The key objectives develop an understanding of the dimensions of access to health care; create greater awareness of health care access constraints from the household perspective; promote critical evaluation of policy options to address access constraints in relation to equity goals; promote and strengthen effective development and implementation of equitable health sector policies.
The training materials can be used for a diverse set of target groups, but are primarily aimed at current and future health sector managers. It is also envisaged that the case studies can be used on an ad-hoc basis in post-graduate programs such as Masters in Public Health programs.
Six case studies have been prepared for this course
- Experiences of households in Sri Lanka
- Availability of health services and resource allocation:
- Affordability of drugs in the context of the World Trade Organisation (WTO)
- Tax and insurance funding for health systems
- Health service acceptability issues
- Access board game
