Argentina - Provincial Maternal and Child Health Insurance : A Results-Based Financing Project at Work
During the early 2000s, Argentina's
total expenditures on health, as a percentage of Gross
Domestic Product (GDP), placed it among the top-20 countries
in the world in per capita health spending. For example,
Argentina spent 8.9 percent of GDP in 2000 and 10.1 percent
in 2006. The per-capita government expenditures on health
were US$382 in 2000 and US$251 in 2006. Yet, despite
sweeping healthcare reforms, relatively high public health
expenditures compared to other countries in the region, and
a restructuring of the country's insurance policy,
quality and access to service remained a problem throughout
the decade. Almost one third of the population lacked access
to basic healthcare. Although the reforms improved access to
healthcare for those employed in the formal sectors, they
were not enough to provide access for the poor, and they
lacked the necessary incentives to improve the quality of
service provision. Moreover, the poor continued to be
excluded from the health insurance system and had worse than
average health indicators.
