Evaluation of the Impact of Pilot Tests for Cost Recovery on Primary Health Care in Niger. Technical Report No. 16

摘要

This document presents an economic evaluation of pilot tests undertaken by the Government of Niger and the United States to test the performance of alternative health care financing systems in rural areas of Niger. These results were part of an effort to formulate a national policy on primary health care reports, analytical, and research reports produced in the course of the pilot tests. The policy implications of the pilot tests are drawn and preliminary recommendations made on the basis of the tests for use in the policy workshop on cost recovery held in July 1994, which marked the final stage of evaluation of the tests.
