Private Health Sector Assessment in Kenya

Private Health Sector Assessment in Kenya is part of the World Bank Working Paper series. These papers are published to communicate the results of the Bank's ongoing research and to stimulate public discussion.

This paper broadly examines the health sector in Kenya, by synthesizing an assessment of the health sector with an analysis of the market. After considering the legal and regulatory framework, the policy enforcement, the human resource capacity, and the financing of health systems, the paper makes recommendations for policy makers.

World Bank Working Papers are available individually or on standing order. The World Bank Working Paper series is also available by subscription to the World Bank e-Library (www.worldbank.org/newelibrary).
