AskFINE -- financing health care in developing countries : a knowledgebase

The projects concerned are especially interested in past experience of countries in the region with any form of revenue generation or other measures to sustain health care services traditionally provided free to the population. In the process of writing the strategy paper, numerous articles, working papers, and reports were reviewed. To enable AID officers and project personnel a fast and more detailed access to these papers without having to locate them first and then read them from cover to cover, a summary and citations of all papers were entered in a text database. This specific "knowledgebase" is called "Financing Health Care in Developing Countries," abbreviated AskFINE. The user can quickly retrieve relevant information and focus on specific countries or problems of interest. This document describes the knowledgebase, but does not include the document summary information. (Author abstract, from PN-ABY-621)
