The IMF and Government Health Expenditure

(1/1)

harnett:
The latest paper in a debate that is worth following - the research focuses on West Africa. http://www.kentikelenis.net/uploads/3/1/8/9/31894609/stubbs2017-the_imf_and_government_health_expenditure_a_response_to_sanjeev_gupta.pdf

John Short:
The problem with this debate is that it does not place health spending into the context of the overall budget, its financing  and competing claims.  Summed up in the quote "(T)hese findings suggest that although the IMF does include priority spending floors in their programmes, they assign less importance to them than to budget balance ceilings".  A one dimensional view, however worthy, is not balanced.
