The José Luis Bobadilla Inter-American Health Policy Network


On October 5, 1998, the IDB approved non-reimbursable financing in the amount of US$1.5 million equivalent in Mexican pesos for the Fundación Mexicana para la Salud (FUNSALUD). The funds will be used to establish an Inter-American Health Policy Network. The main objective of the program is to improve the use of analytical tools and instruments in the formulation and implementation of health care system reforms in Latin America and the Caribbean. The network has five components: (i) policy instruments; (ii) the Inter-American Leadership Forum on Health (ILFH); (iii) the Inter-American Clearinghouse of Health System Reform Initiatives (ICHSRI); (iv) a scholarship program for post-graduate studies in health policy; and (v) support for continuation of the José Luis Bobadilla Award for the Promotion of Public Health Policies.
