Describes health sector reform as sustained, purposeful change to improve the efficiency, equity and effectiveness of the health sector. Shows that there is no universal package of health care reforms, but the most widespread elements include restructuring public sector organisations, linking reward to performance, encouraging plurality and competition, funding through non-tax revenue, and increasing the role of the consumer in the health system. Presents diversity of reforms as barrier to identify reforming and non-reforming countries, and most countries (industrialised and developing) have implemented some reforms. Discusses reform of the health sector as a more general reform of public services called 'New Public Management', a shift from direct service provision to delegation and oversight of public services.
