Nah, Seung-HeeOsifo-Dawodu, Egbe2012-05-292012-05-292007978-0-8213-6947-0https://hdl.handle.net/10986/6600This book is a practical guide for medical professionals who are interested in establishing health care facilities in developing countries. It is intended for individuals and organizations with little or no business experience who are seeking guidance on how to turn a general idea into concrete reality. The author's goals in writing the book were modest. The guide does not provide an exact roadmap for building a hospital or other type of health care facility, nor is there any guarantee that the new entrepreneur who follows the approach described will be able to obtain financing from investors. Rather, the book is designed as an introductory resource with which to begin the process.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABILITY TO PAYACUTE CAREACUTE CARE HOSPITALSAGINGAMBULATORY CAREANESTHESIAAPPLICABLE LAWARCHITECTARCHITECTSBABIESBASIC HEALTH CAREBEDSCAESAREAN SECTIONCANCERCARDIOVASCULAR DISEASESCHRONIC CONDITIONSCITIESCLINICAL SERVICESCLINICSCOMMUNICABLE DISEASESCOMMUNITIESCOMPREHENSIVE CAREDAY CAREDAY CARE CENTERSDEBTDECISION MAKINGDENTAL CAREDESCRIPTIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDIAGNOSISDIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURESDIAGNOSTIC SERVICESDIAGNOSTIC TESTSDISEASE CONTROLDISSEMINATIONDOCTORSDUE CONSIDERATIONELDERLYEMERGENCY TREATMENTEPIDEMICEPIDEMIOLOGICAL CHANGESEPIDEMIOLOGICAL TRANSITIONEXPENDITURESFAMILIESFAMILY MEMBERSFEASIBILITY STUDIESFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTGENERAL PRACTITIONERSGLAUCOMAGLOBAL HEALTHGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTSGOVERNMENT POLICIESHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE ACCREDITATIONHEALTH CARE CENTERSHEALTH CARE DELIVERYHEALTH CARE DEMANDHEALTH CARE ENVIRONMENTHEALTH CARE FACILITIESHEALTH CARE FACILITYHEALTH CARE FINANCINGHEALTH CARE INDUSTRYHEALTH CARE MANAGEMENTHEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONSHEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALSHEALTH CARE PROVIDERHEALTH CARE PROVIDERSHEALTH CARE PROVISIONHEALTH CARE REFORMSHEALTH CARE SECTORHEALTH CARE UTILIZATIONHEALTH EXPENDITUREHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH INDICATORSHEALTH INFRASTRUCTUREHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH INSURANCE PLANHEALTH INTERVENTIONSHEALTH ORGANIZATIONHEALTH PROVIDERSHEALTH REFORMHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICEHEALTH STATUSHEALTH STATUS INDICATORSHEALTH SYSTEMSHIV/AIDSHOSPICESHOSPITALHOSPITAL ADMISSIONSHOSPITAL ASSOCIATIONHOSPITAL BEDSHOSPITAL CAREHOSPITAL MANAGEMENTHOSPITAL SERVICESHOSPITALSHOTELHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLDSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESHUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENTILLNESSILLNESSESINCOMEINFECTION RATESINFORMATION SYSTEMINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINJURIESINPATIENT CAREINSURANCEINSURANCE COVERAGEINSURANCE SCHEMESINSURERSINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONSINTERNATIONAL TRADELABOR MARKETLABORATORY SERVICESLAUNDRYLAWSLEASINGLEGAL STATUSLIABILITYLIFE EXPECTANCYLIFESTYLESLOCAL COMMUNITYLOCAL POPULATIONLONG-TERM CARELOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMALARIAMALPRACTICEMARKETINGMEASLESMEDICAL CAREMEDICAL CENTERSMEDICAL DOCTORSMEDICAL EQUIPMENTMEDICAL FACILITIESMEDICAL MALPRACTICEMEDICAL MALPRACTICE INSURANCEMEDICAL PROFESSIONALSMEDICAL SCHOOLMEDICAL SERVICESMEDICAL SUPPLIESMEDICAL SYSTEMSMEDICAL TECHNOLOGIESMEDICAL TECHNOLOGYMEDICATIONMIGRATIONMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMINISTRY OF HEALTHMORBIDITYMORTALITYMOTHERNATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCENATIONAL HEALTH SYSTEMSNATIONAL LEVELNEONATAL CARENURSESNURSINGNURSING CARENURSING HOMESNUTRITIONOBESITYOCCUPANCYOCCUPANCY RATESOUTPATIENT CAREOUTPATIENT SERVICESPATIENTPATIENT SATISFACTIONPATIENTSPATTERNS OF CONSUMPTIONPEDIATRICSPHARMACYPHYSICAL THERAPYPHYSICIANPHYSICIANSPLASTIC SURGERYPOLICY FRAMEWORKPOOR PEOPLEPOOR POPULATIONSPOPULATION DIVISIONPRIMARY CAREPRIMARY HEALTH CAREPRIMARY HEALTH CARE SERVICESPRIVATE HEALTH CARE SERVICESPRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCEPROGRESSPROVIDER INCENTIVESPROVIDER PAYMENTPROVISION OF SERVICESPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC HOSPITALSQUALITY CAREQUALITY OF HEALTHQUALITY OF HEALTH CAREQUALITY SERVICESRADIOLOGYREFERRAL SYSTEMREHABILITATIONREHABILITATION CENTERSRESOURCE REQUIREMENTSRESPECTRISK FACTORSSAFETYSLOWING POPULATION GROWTHSMOKINGSOCIAL AFFAIRSSOCIAL CUSTOMSSOCIAL SERVICESOCIAL SERVICESSPONSORSSURGERYSUSTAINABLE HEALTH CARETECHNICAL ASSISTANCETREATMENTSTUBERCULOSISURBAN CENTERSVENTILATIONVILLAGESWORKERSWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONWORLD POPULATIONWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-6947-0
