New report on global health financing
The British think-thank Chatham House released its report on global health financing this week. The report is entitled "Shared Responsibilities for Health: A Coherent Global Framework for Health Financing". Global Health Priorities researcher Trygve Ottersen is co-author of the report.
Main content
The report describes how progress towards a global framework for health financing can be made by revising the current approach to health financing in three areas: the domestic financing of national health systems, the joint financing of global public goods for health, and the external financing of national health systems where domestic capacity is inadequate. As part of this endeavor, the report puts forward twenty concrete policy recommendations which also include several quantitative norms and targets for health financing.
