Resumen
Descripción
The Timor-Leste health sector review
describes the accomplishments made by the government of
Timore-Leste in the health sector since it separated from
Indonesia, and analyzes the challenges still facing the
government moving forward. Infant and maternal mortality,
and malnutrition, are still important battles.
Underutilization of services, and poor quality of services
when available, are also reasons for the poor health quality
indicators. Improving the quality or effectiveness of health
services is difficult. However, now that most of the basic
health care infrastructure is in place, the time is right
for the Ministry of Health (MOH) to develop a system to
monitor and upgrade the quality of health care services,
starting with public sector services. One initiative put
forth is health education delivered through various
channels, which would make households better aware of the
risks associated with certain health conditions or symptoms
and the importance of using the available health services
from government and NGO facilities. A second type of
potential intervention is the introduction of conditional
cash transfers, whereby the Government pays a subsidy to
households in exchange for certain behaviors beneficial to
society, such as having their children immunized. Carrying
out the various interventions described above would require
that the Government increased its spending on health
services further.
