Concern remains widespread, however, that the introduction of user fees in government operated facilities or costly membership in insurance plans could deny the poorest people access to modern health services. The World Bank study better heath in Africa (1994) proposed several reforms for health care systems. These included increasing spending by governments on health care from $8 per capita to $13 per capita. This level is considered necessary to provide a cost-effective package of basic preventative and curative services, including safe drinking water and improved sanitation in low-income African countries. These countries represent 60 percent of the continent's population.CC BY 3.0 IGOADMINISTRATIVE COSTSADVERSE SELECTIONCLINICSCOMMUNITY HEALTHCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCOST SHARINGDELIVERY OF HEALTH CAREDELIVERY OF HEALTH CARE SERVICESDELIVERY OF HEALTH SERVICESDEMAND FOR INSURANCEDEVELOPING COUNTRIESEPIDEMICSESSENTIAL DRUGSFINANCIAL RISKFINANCING HEALTH CAREFREE CAREHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE SERVICESHEALTH CARE SERVICES DELIVERYHEALTH CARE SYSTEMSHEALTH CENTERSHEALTH EXPENDITURESHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH POSTSHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH SYSTEMHEALTH SYSTEMSHIVHOSPITALHOSPITAL COSTSHOSPITAL SERVICESHOSPITALIZATIONHOSPITALSHUMAN CAPITALILLNESSINCOMEINSURANCEINSURANCE COMPANIESINSURANCE COVERAGEINSURANCE PLANSINSURANCE SYSTEMMALARIAMEDICAL BILLSMINISTERS OF HEALTHMORAL HAZARDNATIONAL HEALTHNATIONAL HEALTH SYSTEMSNUMBER OF PEOPLEPATIENTSPREPAYMENT SCHEMESPRIMARY HEALTH CAREPRIMARY HEALTH CARE SERVICESPRIVATE SECTORPROBABILITYPROGRESSPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC HOSPITALSQUALITY OF HEALTHQUALITY OF HEALTH CARESAFE DRINKING WATERSANITATIONSUSTAINABLE HEALTH CARETERTIARY LEVELTUBERCULOSISUSER FEESWorld Bank10.1596/9967
