European Health Care Reform

This volume provides a broad overview of the health and health sector challenges faced by policy-makers in the European Region in the second half of the 1990s, and reviews the available evidence on the impact of key reform strategies. It is conceptual as well as empirical in approach, combining epidemiological, economic, organizational and managerial perspectives on the current status of health systems in both the eastern and western parts of the European Region. The study's findings are based on over 30 background papers written by a team of scholars from all parts of Europe, as well from Canada, the World Bank and WHO
