تمويل القطاع الصحي خيارات تمويل الرعاية الصحية في العراق

One of the basic issues faced by a state is the system of health care delivered to the citizens and method of funding this system. The importance of this issue lies in the fact that an established system of health care reflects the values, social priorities and economic system of such a state. This paper presents the available options for funding the health-care system in Iraq. It is a summary of ideas and views discussed on several occasions between 2004 and 2005, especially at the First National Conference on Health in Iraq, held in Baghdad in August 2004, and the Health-Sector Funding Symposium, organized by the Ministry of Health in Amman, Jordan, in November 2004.
