Publication: Fiji Health Sector Review 2024: Investing in People
Abstract
This work was conducted at the request of the Ministry of Finance, Strategic Planning, National Development and Statistics (MFSPNDS). MFSPNDS requested the World Bank’s support to conduct a systematic review of the health sector, to take stock of its current performance in tackling the country’s major health challenges and propose policy suggestions and programs for improving its performance. A working group with members from MFSPNDS and the Ministry of Health and Medical Services (MHMS) was established to facilitate data collection and oversee progress of the review. It was agreed that the review would cover: (i) health financing, including health expenditure projections to 2030; (ii) service delivery, including a supply-side readiness assessment of services at all levels of the health system, and redevelopment options for Colonial War Memorial Hospital; (iii) human resources for health, including assessment of stock and flow as well as projections of needs and supply to 2030; and (iv) options and models for the Government of Fiji to engage private healthcare providers to improve population health outcomes.

Publication Islamic Republic of Iran - Health Sector Review : Volume 1. Main Report(Washington, DC, 2008-06)The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has stated its commitment to improving the health and nutritional status of the population as articulated in the Interim Country Assistance Strategy (CAS), which lists as priorities addressing nutritional deficiencies, expanding coverage of basic health services, and improving efficiency of the health system and the quality of service at all levels. This health sector review is consistent with this in that it provides the platform and evidence base for such reform. It is also in-line with part three of the current Fourth Five-Year Plan, which includes health development, human security and social justice priority, the reduction of illness from malnutrition, increasing public health service coverage, and increasing access to quality health services while reducing the financial burden on the families. The objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive review and diagnostic of the performance of the health sector in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The government is quite advanced in the type of analysis it already undertakes on various aspects of the sector (e.g., burden of diseases, national health accounts, and utilization analysis). However, a consolidation of this information and analysis that encompasses several major elements of the health sector has not been done recently. The health sector review, through a synthesis of available data and other information on the health sector attempts to: (i) assess the strengths, challenges, and opportunities facing the current health system; (ii) offer analytic assessments of the health policies and plans; and (iii) provide a framework for developing strategic options as well as short- and medium-term recommendations and action plans to achieve the goals identified in the country's Fourth Five-Year Plan. The review is also intended to provide a platform for discussions on possible areas of collaboration between the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the World Bank on the health sector.Publication Country Partnership Framework for the Republic of Fiji FY2021-FY2024(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2020-12-17)Publication Detailed Implementation Review : India Health Sector, 2006-2007, Volume 1(Washington, DC, 2007-12-19)This report summarizes the findings of a Detailed Implementation Review (DIR) of five Bank-financed projects in India: the Food and Drugs Capacity Building Project, the Orissa Health Systems Development Project; the Second National AIDS Control Project; the Malaria Control Project; and the Tuberculosis Control Project.

Moreover, the DIR should not be cited or referred to in the course of any Government of India investigation, in its investigation reports, or in any administrative, civil, or criminal proceedings undertaken by the Government of India related to the five projects reviewed in this report.

The general objective of this advisory service is to review the current situation of the Labor and Social Protection (L&SP) sector, assess its functioning and develop an action plan that the GOR can use over the short- to medium-term to strengthen its effectiveness in the public administration. In meeting this objective, the World Bank examined: (i) whether the policy goals and objectives of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection (MoLFSP) and its agencies are clearly defined in measurable and achievable terms; (ii) whether the management systems, policies, staffing, and organizational structure are appropriate for them to meet their objectives; and (iii) whether factors external to the institutions that may impede their ability to meet their objectives.
