| Abstract: | This book distills the operational knowledge relevant to attacking health sector inequality and uses available empirical evidence to answer to critical questions: Why is there persistent inequality in health care? What can be done obot it? Using 14 evaluated, proven successes and an axhaustive literature review, Attacking Inequality in the Health Sector serves as a practical “how to” manual for defining, understanding, and effectively addressing the problems of inequality in health service use. It will be of particular interest to policy makers, advocates in civil society, and development agencies that are committed to improving health service use by the poor. |
