Survey preparation and proceedings
Issues for reporting were determined jointly based on what the
network partners identified as the most pressing issues for reform.

– Human resources
– Quality issues
– Benefit basket and priority setting
– Access
– Responsiveness and empowerment of patients
– Political context, decentralization and public administration
– Health system organization/integration across sectors
– Long-term care
– Role of private sector
– New technology

– Prevention
