- How can we improve health, wealth and societal well-being by investing in health systems?
- How can we ensure that health systems are sustained in the future?
- How can we monitor, manage and improve performance so that health systems are as effective and efficient as possible?
This book looks at health systems from a new perspective. By reviewing the complex relationship between health systems, health and wealth, it argues that health systems need not be, as is often believed, simply a drag on resources but rather can be part and parcel of improving health and achieving better economic growth.
Aiming to assist policy-makers as they assess the case for investing in health systems, Health Systems,Health, Wealth and Societal Well-being reviews the evidence on:
- The contribution of health systems to better health and to economic growth
- The ways that investment in better health can save future health costs as well as boosting economic growth
- How we can create equitable, sustainable health systems fit for the 21st century
