Financing Medical Care in Underdeveloped Nations: Reflections from the Past and Context for the FutureJozef Van Langendonck, PhD
Abstract: Global healthcare financing continues to create challenges for underdeveloped nations at the present time. Yet efforts to address the challenges of providing the necessary resources still continue to focus upon ad hoc solutions rather than a systemically focused, member state, mandatory contributions that build upon extant infrastructures such as WHO, WTO, the Global Fund, and other bodies. Yet it is important to realize these structures continue to need quality assurance, measurement, and evaluation, while a system of global social security oversight still needs creation that can effectively govern such efforts. A funding system based on stable funding and appropriate, governance-based structure can promote more focused, targeted financing, leading to improved global health.
