Paying for health care : the household perspective

ABSTRACT

Public health in developing countries are facing serious problems in terms of quality and maintenance. Staff are underpaid and therefore not motivation; equipment is often missing for functioning poorly and drugs are in short supply. The basis for this deplorable development is lack of funds for health. In Sub-Saharan Africa less 5 per cent of government budgets is usually spent on health care. There is therefore an urgent need to find more fund to finance health services
