| Summary: | This report, which is a product of the
World Bank's Recurso program - reviews Peru's
recent advances in health sector policy and performance and
discusses upcoming challenges. Using the
'accountability triangle' approach developed in
the 2004 World Development Report (WDR 2004), it focuses on
strengthening the accountability of health providers to
users to leverage improved service quality and outcomes. The
report builds on the health chapter of the initial Recurso
report, developing and updating the analysis to take account
of the changes in policy and performance in the Peru health
sector in the period 2005-2010. The study focuses on two
broad sets of reforms, implemented in recent years that are
relevant to this agenda: those that aim to strengthen
users' rights and entitlements to good quality health
services and thus to stimulate demand; and those that aim to
strengthen public sector management for delivering results
in the health sector (budgetary planning, accountability and
incentives). It asks whether institutional arrangements and
incentives are adequate to achieve the desired levels of
health coverage and quality for all Peruvians. It analyzes
interactions between health entitlements, financing and
service delivery in the poorest regions of Peru, identifies
bottlenecks and conflicting policies and recommends options
to improve synergies between the elements of the system. |
