Abstract:
The economic crisis of the 1980s led to cuts in both government and household expenditure on health in the Third World. In order to address these issues it is necessary to adopt a macroeconomic approach to the analysis of the health sector; this allows its relationship to the whole economy to be understood. The efficient and equitable utilization of resources is particularly important in times of severe financial constraint.
