Most Latin American countries are now attempting the radical reform of their healthcare financing and delivery systems. In many cases, these reforms complement and contribute to broader neo-liberal orthodoxies of economic and social reform. Key strategies include decentralising hospital administration and the promotion of private health insurance. However, experiences across the region are quite diverse, and countries such as Cuba persist with a system of healthcare based on very different principles. This book identifies key problems facing healthcare systems in the region and evaluates the reforms that have been implemented to date. It pays particular attention to problems of implementation and the impact that changes to health policy are having on poor and vulnerable groups.

Peter Lloyd-Sherlock is lecturer in Social Development at the School of Development Studies, University of East Anglia. He is the author of Old Age and Urban Poverty in the Developing World: The Shanty Towns of Buenos Aires (Macmillan Press/St. Martin's Press, 1997).
