| Attacking Inequality in the Health Sector distills the operational knowledge relevant to attacking health sector inequality and uses available empirical evidence to answer two critical questions: Why is there persistent inequality in health care? What can be done about it? Using 14 evaluated, proven successses and an exhaustive literature review, this book serves as a practical "how to" manual for defining, understanding, and effectively addressing the problems of inequality in health service use. It will be of particular interest to policy makers, advocates in civil society, and development agencies that are committed to improving health service use by the poor and socially vulnerable. | | Reaching the Poor with Health Services Policy Briefs
