Reaching the Poor through Demand Subsidies: The Colombian Health Reform
By William Savedoff (10/03, En) See also Social Development
The following are reflections from a seminar that took place in Barranquilla, Colombia, November 15-19, 1999, in which presentations were made by Colombian academics, mayors, hospital managers, regulators, EPS Directors, and newly insured individuals. This is not meant to be a systematic evaluation of the reform, but rather an outsider?s view from an intense week of interviews, presentations, and local visits.
This working paper is being published with the sole objective of contributing to the debate on a topic of importance to the region, and to elicit comments and suggestions from interested parties. This paper has not gone through the Department's peer review process or undergone consideration by the SDS Management Team. As such, it does not reflect the official position of the Inter-American Development Bank.
