Abstract:

Health systems aim to improve population health. Despite global efforts, millions of children still die every year from vaccine preventable diseases and undernutrition attributed deaths. Moreover, about 293,000 maternal deaths occurred in 2013. The sources of these deaths include various inequalities such as vaccine coverage, nutritional status, and health services utilization. In order to make progress toward mortality reduction, we need to address the sources that are most likely to affect the poorest. One strategy is conditional cash transfers (CCTs), which provides cash payments in exchang

Those driving health reforms frequently ﬁnd themselves pitted against vested interests. The thesis explores how best a reform driver might manage other actors in the reform process to achieve key goals. This involves creating and testing a conceptual framework. A review of the international health care reform literature identiﬁes key gaps in knowledge.

Abstract:

The public sector of all western developed countries has become increasingly involved in financing health care during the past century. Today, thirteen OECD countries have passed landmark legislative reforms that call for compulsory prepayment and universal entitlement to comprehensive services, while most of the others achieve similar coverage through a mixture of public and private voluntary arrangements. This study carried out a detailed analysis of why, how and to what effect governments became involved in health care financing in eight of these countries. During the early phase of this ev

Abstract:

<p> Many studies have examined the association between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate financial performance, but scholars argue that the exact relationship between CSR and corporate financial performance remains unclear. This quantitative study examines the impact of CSR on corporate financial performance in the pharmaceutical industry. The study addresses the research question: What is the financial performance in the pharmaceutical industry among companies that have embraced CSR? The alternative hypothesis predicted positive correlations between financial performance and

In these 20 years, the law was altered several times with the objective of prioritizing the investment of public money in such a needy area as health. Among these changes, it is important to single out the Constitutional Amendment numbe

Abstract:

In strengthening health systems, the World Health Report 2000 indicates that health system improvement strategies must also cover private (for-profit and non-profit) health care provision and financing if progress towards Universal Health Coverage is to be achieved. Yet very little is known about the financing of non-profit providers in Africa - especially not faith-based health providers, who have often historically remained elusive in terms of financial transparency. This thesis reports on a multiple case study conducted with two non-profit faith-based health providers in Kenya, namely the A

Abstract:

This study explores the practical and ideological implications of the New Public Management (NPM) paradigm as introduced in Greece by the so-called “Troika”, a sobriquet referring to a triumvirate comprising representatives of the IMF, the European Union, and the European Central Bank. In the past, attempts had been made by Greek officials to implement managerial practices within the Greek National Health Service (NHS) and the hospital sector in particular, albeit at a more leisurely pace than that of other countries’. On arrival to Greece the Troika imposed a number of changes to improve the

Full text

Abstract:

This dissertation consists of three essays. The first essay, or Chapter 2, advances the literature by examining the conditional effects of lobbying on the relationship between policy learning and policy reinvention. Scholars have consistently shown that learning of successful policies in other states leads to higher likelihood of policy adoption. This essay extends this finding two ways. First, policy learning can also lead to more comprehensive adoption of successful policies. Second, the effect of policy learning on policy comprehensiveness is conditional on lobbying by interest groups, an a

Abstract:

Using the Health and Retirement Study Panel core files from 1996 to 2014, I analyze how Medicare Part D impacted access to prescription drug coverage by various demographic factors such as race, gender, and income. In Chapter 1, I find the highest take-up rates for those who were white, female, and with higher incomes. However, increases in coverage were high across the board, such that Medicare Part D also improved drug insurance coverage for those who were black, male, and with lower income. Thus, although Medicare Part D did increase prescription drug insurance coverage for seniors across t

Abstract:

This research investigates the changes in the operations of CHSs (Christian health services) in developing countries, particularly their funding bases, relationships with their respective governments, and the extent to which these have resulted in changes to the socioeconomic characteristics of their users. Three main areas of study are woven together: the history of medical mission, health service management and its response to the pressures of the last half-century, and the role of non-state providers in a comprehensive health care system. Evidence was assembled from interviews with official

Unifying theories of fiscal stress with emergency management theories, the dissertation presents a model of what influences local governments coping strategy use following disasters. Using new survey data and secondary financial data on cities, counties, and school districts that experienced Hurricane Harvey, findings show that local governments adapt in a variety of ways; of 137 local governments that responded, 66 percent used some number of coping strategies, with only 5 of 62 possible strategies
