The Beveridge Report: Its Origins and Outcomes
In the middle of the Second World War, during the period when Britain was left alone to fight Hitler’s Germany, the Beveridge Report was published.

Employer's willingness to pay: The case for compulsory health insurance in Tanzania
This article documents employers' expenditure on the arrangements for the health care of their employees in one of the least developed countries; Tanzania. The case for compulsory health insurance is considered in the light of the fact that only 3% of the population is employed in the formal sector and could be covered at first. It is shown from a survey of larger employers, outside government, that they were spending on average 11% of payroll on…
Health insurance in developing countries: Lessons from experience
Many developing countries are currently considering the possibility of introducing compulsory health insurance schemes. One reason is to attract more resources to the health sector. If those who, together with their employers, can pay for their health services and are made to do so by insurance, the limited tax funds can be concentrated on providing services for fewer people and thus improve coverage and raise standards. A second reason is dissat…

Community-financing in developing countries: The potential for the health sector
This paper attempts to give greater specificity to the concept of community-financing and thus clarify its role so that its potential and its limitations can be more comprehensively appraised. Its potential role differs widely according to the characteristics of communities, cultural attitudes and political systems. Community-financing does have a role to play in extending the activities of the health sector in developing countries. It can mobili…
The world economic crisis. Part 2: Health manpower out of balance
As outlined in the first part of this article in the last issue of the journal, many countries are facing severe constraints on health expenditure at the same time as they are trying to work towards Health for All by the Year 2000. Health manpower needs to be planned to secure maximum benefits from the limited resources available. Many medical schools train more doctors than are needed because quotas on medical places are either non-existent or s…
The world economic crisis. Part 1: Repercussions on health
The widespread economic crisis has resulted in a fall in living standards in the western hemisphere of over 9% (1981-83) and in Sub-Saharan Africa they have fallen to the level of 1970. Food production in the African countries most seriously affected by drought dropped by 15% between 1981 and 1983. Living standards also fell in some countries in Europe and in some of the poorest countries of Asia. The high cost of fuel, the heavy burden of intere…

Patterns of financing and organising medical care in the United States differ from those in other countries where the degree of public control is far greater. The main reason for this difference is that in Europe the provision of medical care has always been regarded more as a collective responsibility
