    Overcoming Public Sector Inefficiencies toward Universal Health Coverage: The Case for National Health Insurance Systems in Asia and the Pacific

    Banzon, Eduardo; Mailfert, Mathilde | May 2018
    Abstract
    As governments in Asia and the Pacific invest more on health, unmasking inefficiencies in spending is a priority to achieve Universal Health Coverage. This paper looks at inefficiencies in the public sector, and how they affect the way health systems’ functions are performed. Countries in the region are making efficiency gains in the health sector. National Health Insurances, whereby a single payer is providing financial protection for an entire national population, are increasingly being used as an instrument to move toward Universal Health Coverage in Asia and the Pacific. Such systems offer a potential for efficiency gains and better performing health systems functions, from stewardship to pooling and delivering services.

      Population Health and Foreign Direct Investment: Does Poor Health Signal Poor Government Effectiveness? 

      Tandon, Ajay (Asian Development Bank, 2005-01-01)
      This policy brief argues that poor levels of population health can deter foreign direct investment because they can act as potent signals of institutional weaknesses and, more broadly, of lower levels of government effectiveness. The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003 in Asia brought into sharp focus the linkages between health and the macroeconomy. The economic impact of ...
