dc.description.abstractComprehensive policies on privatization in the health sector need to be developed, together with robust regulations and enhanced capacities for monitoring activity. The paper explores increased private, for-profit activity in the health sector in the region. It identifies issues of concern, indicating some features of financing that may lead to private sector expansion that does not support social objectives. The paper recommends that governments reconsider financing incentives in view of effects such as private sector capture of public subsidies.en
