Abstract:
Health services provided by public or private institutions at the primary and hospital referral levels should be coordinated so that the available resources are distributed equitably to meet the needs and aspirations of the population. The challenge is to improve the quality of hospital care and the existing pattern of public and private services in Latin America and the Caribbean.
