Resumen
Descripción
Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank Group, notes that we stand at a critical threshold for global health and development. Too many women and children
are still dying because they lack access to quality
health care, especially in the least developed countries. He
talks about shifting focus from inputs to paying for results, an approach that
has been proven to be extremely effective in getting high
quality, essential health services to women and children. He remarks that empowering frontline health workers with the
autonomy and resources to develop strategies to improve
service delivery has resulted in transformational changes
in access and quality. As countries move
toward universal coverage, fewer mothers die in childbirth,
and more babies are born healthy.
