Trends in funding for global health

D Question 2 3 pts Which of the following is NOT TRUE concerning overall trends in funding for global health? There is a move toward funding and decision-making by governments instead of decision-making by donors The emergence of Gavi (the vaccine alliance) and the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria are examples of how specific infectious diseases are receiving increased funding in comparison to non- communicable diseases. There is a consolidation of influence because much of global health funding now comes from a few specific donors There is a movement towards narrower mandates and problem- focused vertical initiatives, and away from broader systemic goals such as health system strengthening. Question 3 3 pts Which of the following is NOT TRUE about user fees in health care? User fees align with neoliberism’s ideology of personal responsibility and a rational free market. The WHO correctly stated that user fees increase efficiency and improve equity, as well as generating revenue for the health system. User fees tended to promote underconsumption of health care; many people chose not to seek health care even for preventative care such as immunizations When implemented, user fees recouped very little of the operating costs for health services.
