Cost Recovery in Public Health Services in Sub-Saharan Africa

By: Brian Nolan,Vincent Turbat

This report describes and evaluates the ways in which user-fees are currently implemented to finance public health services in Sub- Saharan Africa. It presents the main issues that arise in assessing cost recovery through user fees and evaluates experiences to date. The authors highlight variety of practices encountered in different countries, the too common failure to structure charges so as to promote efficient use, and the lack of effective exemption structures for protecting the poor. The study thoroughly reviews standard cost recovery models and describes an initiative launched in Bamako, Mali, in 1987. Issues, experience, and conclusions are drawn from a sample of 38 countries.

Sociology and Social Work

Perspectives and Problems

By: Brian J. Heraud

Sociology and Social Work: Perspectives and Problems focuses on the relationship between sociology and social work, providing a sociological understanding of the problems social workers face. This book begins with an introduction to sociology and social work, followed by a discussion on the nature of a sociological perspective. The sociological approach to family and kinship, analysis of the community, social stratification, and social deviance are also elaborated. This text emphasizes child rearing, language, and social class, including childhood as a preparation for class membership and changes in the stratification system. The social functions of social work in relation to social control and social change are likewise reviewed. This compilation concludes with a review of the professionalization and organizational context of social work and problems arising from the nature of social work and sociology. This publication is a good reference for students and researchers interested in the perspectives and problems related to sociology and social work.
