Health System Problems: World BankHealth System Problems: World Bank
1. Misallocation of Resources: Money is spent on interventions of dubious cost-effectiveness, while highly cost-effective interventions (TB and STD management) are neglected
2. Inequity: Poor and rural populations receive less health care, while public monies go to urban and affluent groups with better access to tertiary care services
3. Inefficiency: Waste in health care, e.g. use of brand name drugs, inefficient use of health personnel and inappropriate utilization of hospital beds
4. Exploding Costs: Costs of health care are growing faster than their economies, but in low income countries the resources for health are few and poorly managed
