Abstract

Suwit Wibulpolprasert and Paichit Pengpaiboon analyse health system changes in Thailand over the past two decades with the move from a relatively equitable distribution of health resources to a far more inequitable distribution of health resources with the mushrooming of the private health sector. Several strategies were developed and implemented to protect the ‘social safety net’ for the poor, and to achieve more efficient and transparent utilization of health resources. These strategies were supported by the strong civic movements toward sustainable holistic political and social reform. Development (2001) 44, 99–107. doi:10.1057/palgrave.development.1110222
