A Guide to Competitive Vouchers in Health provides a broad
outline of the problems health systems face, the rationale behind
government intervention, particularly in the form of subsidies, and the
different ways that governments and donors subsidize health care.
The guide provides readers with an understanding of the concept of
competitive voucher schemes in health; the advantages competitive
voucher schemes might offer as an instrument to delivery subsidies;
circumstances where competitive voucher schemes are better suited than
other instruments to deliver subsidies; and steps to follow when
designing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating a competitive
voucher scheme.
Aimed at raising awareness among policymakers, this book helps
identify situations where vouchers may better achieve health objectives
and provides guidance on the choices available and the decisions to be
made. It highlights some of the pitfalls that voucher schemes have
experienced to date, as well as the wide variation in format that a
voucher scheme can take depending upon the health problems being
addressed and the objectives that the policymaker wishes to
achieve.
