The aims of the PER are to provide objective evidence to inform the allocation of resources to enable equitable, efficient, and sustainable health care provision and to highlight questions about health sector performance for policy makers and key stakeholders. The findings also aim to present Zimbabwe’s health sector spending in an international and regional perspective, highlighting key issues for improving health outcomes. The PER is based on analysis of primary and secondary data as well as an extensive review of existing literature. The research was complemented by interviews with key stakeholders, and data collection from major development partners and domestic health funders, including private companies. Micro-level data from household and health facility surveys in May–August 2014 (primarily for the impact evaluation of the Results-Based Financing (RBF) program supported by the World Bank) complemented these scarce data.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOPHARMACYINFANT MORTALITY RATESHEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEMCHILD HEALTHEMPLOYMENTHEALTH SERVICE PROVIDERSRISKSHEALTH SERVICE DELIVERYREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHPEOPLEVACCINATIONFINANCINGFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTPHARMACISTSANTENATAL CAREDEATHSINCOMEUNDER-FIVE MORTALITYQUALITY OF HEALTH CAREPREVENTIONHEALTH EXPENDITURESDOCTORSMORBIDITYHEALTH EDUCATIONCOMMUNITY HEALTHPRIMARY CAREMALARIA CONTROLHEALTH INSURANCEMEDICAL RECORDSHEALTH CARECERVICAL CANCERINTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF CHILDHOOD ILLNESSESHEALTH CARE FACILITIESINCENTIVESHEALTHRURAL HEALTH CARESMOKERSHYPERTENSIONENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHHEALTH SERVICE UTILIZATIONHEALTH FACILITIESPUBLIC HEALTHLIFE EXPECTANCYQUALITY OF HEALTHHOSPITALIZATIONKNOWLEDGEHEALTH SECTORFINANCE MANAGEMENTDIABETESDIETSEXERCISESFORMAL CAREHEALTH STATUSCOSTSIMMUNIZATIONINFECTIOUS DISEASESPATIENTSPATIENTSMOKINGINTERVENTIONTUBERCULOSIS PATIENTSHEALTH COSTSPROBABILITYHEALTH INDICATORSHEALTH SYSTEMSHEALTH CENTERSEXTERNALITIESNURSESMIGRATIONHEALTH CARE SERVICESHEALTH MANAGEMENTACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESALLOCATIVE EFFICIENCYMEDICAL CAREHEALTH WORKFORCESEXUAL INTERCOURSETUBERCULOSISHEALTH ORGANIZATIONHOSPITAL SERVICESSCREENINGPUBLIC HEALTH SPENDINGOUTPATIENT SERVICESHIV/AIDSINTERVIEWMENTAL HEALTHMORTALITYHEALTH PROMOTIONPALLIATIVE CAREMEDICAL TREATMENTHEALTH INFORMATIONEQUITYINFANT MORTALITYHEALTH SERVICE PROVISIONHEALTH SPECIALISTWORKERSPUBLIC HEALTH EXPENDITURESAGEDCONTRACEPTIVESSOCIAL SERVICESHEALTH CARE PROVISIONPUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAMSSURVEILLANCEPOSTNATAL CARELIFESTYLECAREHEALTH POLICYMEDICAL SERVICESBUDGETSDEMANDHEALTH OUTCOMESMALARIA INCIDENCEFAMILY PLANNINGMEDICAL SUPPLIESMEDICAL EQUIPMENTEXPENDITURESVILLAGE HEALTH WORKERSHEALTH CLINICSMEASUREMENTCHILD NUTRITIONNUTRITIONINJURIESBEDSADOLESCENTSPRIMARY HEALTH CAREBURDEN OF DISEASERISK FACTORSINSURANCEHEALTH SYSTEMOUTPATIENT CAREWEIGHTCOMMUNICABLE DISEASESPREGNANT WOMENHEALTH CARE DELIVERYCHILDRENCLINICSEVALUATIONINPATIENT CAREHUMAN RESOURCESHEALTH PROVIDERSPOVERTYISOLATIONHEALTH-SYSTEMS STRENGTHENINGINTEGRATIONBIRTH ATTENDANTSHEALTH EXPENDITUREILLNESSINCIDENCEPHYSICAL ACTIVITYINFANTSSUSTAINABLE HEALTH CAREREHABILITATIONPOPULATIONHOSPITAL BEDSSTRATEGYFEESFAMILIESCHILD HEALTH SERVICESMEDICINESHEALTH CARE SPENDINGHEALTH FINANCINGHOSPITALSCIRCUMCISIONHEALTH INTERVENTIONSMEDICAL FACILITIESHEALTH SERVICEINFANT MORTALITY RATEINTERNATIONAL COMPARISONSHEALTH PROGRAMSHEALTH SERVICESIMPLEMENTATIONPREGNANCYALCOHOL CONSUMPTIONPUBLIC HEALTH INTERVENTIONSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTReportWorld Bank10.1596/22258
