1000 words critically assessing one of three journal articles.

Instruction 1

1. Main argument:

The World Bank has a “new strategic direction in the health sector aimed at: improving health, nutrition, and  population outcomes of the poor; enhancing the performance of health care systems; and  securing sustainable health care financing” (Beyer et al 2000 p.169).  [this is a useful quote] 

The World Bank’s approach to health development assistance (though loans to low-income countries) views systematic reform as   as a way to improve the impact and sustainability of investments in health [my words]
