Issues in the allocation of resources in the medical sector of developing countries: the Tunisian case

Auteur :
HELLER, P. S.

Description :
In the section I of his paper, the A. briefly examines the theoretical rationale for reliance on a medical referral system and describes its institutional form. In section II, he heuristically discusses the kinds of disequilibria that may arise in such a system and the conditions required for optimality. In section III, he evaluates how well Tunisia's medical referral system satisfies theses conditions. Conclusion: Tunisia's medical system-only partially justifies its current pattern of resource allocation. (PmB, from the A.).
