Benchmarking the fairness of health sector reform in the Philippines

چکیده
Introduction The Benchmarks of Fairness framework was conceived in the United States of America at the beginning of the 1990s to evaluate planned health insurance reforms. It is now used to evaluate the fairness of health sector reforms (Daniels et al. 2000, 2005) and several developing countries have already used it to strengthen their capacity to assess health-care reforms. In the context of social justice, the concept of fairness has three dimensions: equity in terms of access and financing, accountability, and clinical and administrative efficiency. Nine benchmarks have been elaborated for the evaluation of fairness, each covering a different aspect of health system performance and design. Among these, five relate specifically to the issue of equity, two relate to clinical and administrative efficiency, and another two relate to administrative accountability and autonomy (Table 1).

Governance, Government, and the Search for New Provider Models
