Some links between successful implementation of primary health care interventions and the overall utilization of health services
The ecology of health and disease in Ethiopia and health and disease in Ethiopia: A guide to the literature 1940-1985
Health care financing in Indonesia
This paper describes health care financing and expenditures in Indonesia, a developing country spending around $US 9.40 per capita annually for health care (2.6% of GOP). Per capita health care spending has held constant in real terms over the last five years. The public sector accounts for 36.8% of all health care expenditure, or 43.1% if health care spending by state enterprises is included. About 13% of the population, almost all of them gover…
More on health sector expenditure data and what they can and cannot tell us
The carefully done health sector financing and expenditure survey carried out in Swaziland by Lucy Gilson (1987) has produced much detailed and useful information. However, despite the care with which the survey was done it did not generate the type of planning and management data required for possible implementation of the recommendations offered by Gilson. In an earlier contribution to this journal (Gish 1987) I suggested that researchers and o…

More on International Medical Aid (I); More or Less on International Medical Aid (II); Socialism, Capitalism and Inequality; Comment by Paul Sweezy
Meredeth Turshen and Annie Thebaud, the authors of "International Medical Aid" (Monthly Review, December 1981), correctly point out that most disease problems are rooted in the social environment in which we live and, consequently, the limitations of essentially technical-medical solutions. They also point out the links between capitalist ideology and development and the bias in favor of these technical-medical means. In addition, they hold the W…

Mobile Health Services: A Study in Cost-Effectiveness
The techniques of cost-effectiveness are employed to simplify resource allocation decisions concerned with the use of land and air transport systems in the health services of a developing country. Outcome classifications are produced for patients seen by mobile and fixed primary care units. The mobile services examined were far more costly (8 to 14 times greater) per likely-effective-patient-contact than comparable care delivered from permanently…
Planning the Health Sector: The Tanzanian Experience
Report of the working group on health and demography
Resource allocation, equality of access and health
Health planning in developing countries
Planning for health care in less developed countries must differ from that in more highly developed countries because of the greater scarcity of manpower and facilities, the differences in population structure, and the different disease patterns. Because poor countries usually do not have more than 10s. per head per annum to spend for health care, it would be unrealistic to plan for hospital‐based medical care delivery systems. It is equally inap…

Emigration and the supply and demand for medical manpower: The Irish case
Color and Skill: British Immigration, 1955-1968
The factors conditioning immigration to the United Kingdom are analyzed in this article with the view to understand British immigration policy. The volume and place of origin of immigrants, the attitudes held toward immigrants by the British people, the legal and administrative framework placed around immigration, the emigration of highly skilled people from the United Kingdom in more recent years, all these aspects-the author shows-have contribu…
