Abstract

(Disponible en idioma inglés únicamente) Los elementos de juicio demuestran que el gasto oficial en atención médica en muchos países en desarrollo beneficia más a los ricos que a los pobres. Sin embargo, una combinación de fuerzas políticas favorables y políticas públicas sólidas puede ir desplazando el destino del gasto oficial hacia los pobres. Ello es una parte esencial de cualquier programa eficaz de reducción de la pobreza en los países en desarrollo.
