Resumen
Descripción
The Solomon Islands government plays key roles in the health sector, as a funder,
regulator, and provider of nearly all health services. Health services are funded, managed,
and delivered by the Ministry of Health and Medical Services (MHMS). The MHMS also
allocates resources (such as funding, staff, and supplies) to its provincial health services, which are part of the MHMS rather than the provincial governments, to deliver health services in the provinces on behalf of the MHMS. Most health facilities are government-owned, with a few operated by churches. However, church-owned facilities receive annual budget allocations, human resources, medical supplies, and capital investments from the government. There are privately owned outpatient facilities, but these are mainly found in urban areas. There is no social health insurance or separate agency for buying healthcare services.
