Too Poor to be Sick: Coping with the Costs of Illness in East Hararghe, Ethiopia

Submitted by crinadmin on

Summary: This report examines the effects of a
decade of health sector reforms in
Ethiopia. It demonstrates that the
major barrier to healthcare for the
vast majority of rural Ethiopians is
the high cost of drugs. It also
demonstrates how the Special
Pharmacies - cornerstones of the
reform to improve the availability and
affordability of drugs - exclude the
majority of potential users.
