Impact of the Asian economic crisis on health

A report on the impact of the Asian economic crisis on the health sector in selected countries receiving Australian government assistance and to identify health sector priorities prior to and after the crisis.

The report also covers the responses of recipient governments, the private sector, local communities, non-government organisations (NGO), UN and multilateral agencies (especially the World Bank and Asian Development Bank), and international donors to the challenges faced by the health sector as a result of the crisis and to identify gaps in these responses.
