Health systems, health, wealth and societal well-being. Assessing the case for investing in health systems

This book looks at health systems from a new perspective. By reviewing the complex relationship between health systems, health and wealth, it argues that health systems need not be, as is often believed, simply a drag on resources but rather can be part and parcel of improving health and achieving better economic growth.

Aiming to assist policy-makers as they assess the case for investing in health systems,'Health systems, health, wealth and societal well-being' reviews the evidence and analyses some of the lessons that can be drawn from that evidence.
