Tracking Resources for Primary Health Care:A Framework and Practices in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

Edited by Hong Wang and Peter Berman

in World Scientific Books from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: The global health community is broadly in agreement that achievement of the health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) hinges upon both an escalation of the financial resources dedicated to primary health care (PHC) and a more effective use of those resources: more money, better spent. This book introduces and explicates the end-to-end resource tracking and management (RTM) framework, which includes five components that determine effective and efficient financing for PHC: resource mobilization, allocation, utilization, productivity, and targeting.
