Does performance-based financing of health care work?

Performance-based financing of health care in low- and middle-income countries- what are they and do they work?

We are happy to announce that a highly recognized expert in health sector reform, Bruno Meessen, from The Institute of Tropical Medicine in Belgium is visiting us here in Bergen. He invites you and your network to a seminar to discuss performance-based financing of health care in low- and middle-income countries- what are they and do they work?

In his presentation, he will in particular address a new critic on performance-based financing in a newly published article here;
