Financing District Health Systems
Abstract
Before being taken over by the State in the late 1970s most rural hospitals were managed by various Mission Societies or Churches. Funds were always hard to come by and the meagre Government subsidies and grants certainly did not suffice to cover expenses. Managers of these health facilities became adept at raising money from a variety of sources as well as experts at containing expenses.
