Description
THE FOUNDATIONAL WORK IN HEALTH REFORM, CELEBRATING 15 YEARS OF INFLUENCE Featuring a new introduction by the authors Getting Health Reform Right is the world's leading text for understanding and managing health systems and their reform. Its simple, analytical model allows readers to design their own approach to improve health-system performance based on three outcomes of greatest importance (health status, citizen satisfaction, and financial risk protection), with step-by-step instructions for defining problems, diagnosing causes, devising solutions, and implementing changes.

Smith, Emeritus Professor of Health Policy, Imperial College Business School, London "Has become the mainstay of health-system reform conversations among policymakers in India. Its unique and accessible framing, which goes beyond abstract ideas, has resonated strongly in debates over how to improve health system performance." -Nachiket Mor, former Director, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, India
