| Summary: | 碩士 === 臺北醫學大學 === 全球衛生暨發展碩士學位學程 === 101 === In low- and middle- income countries the trend of improving health care has been similar; however, due to the economic situations of these countries, their progresses are not as large. Therefore, external funding has played an important role in these countries in trying to reduce their burden of disease. Many developed countries (United States and European etc.) and international organizations (World Bank and President''s Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief (US PEPFAR etc.) have helped these countries in their improvements and the study finalized two categories of these funding for comparison purposes, they are multilateral organizations and Development Assistance Committee (DAC), which is a forum for selected OECD member states.
The study collected the data of health status and health financing for seventeen years (1995-2011) for Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Mongolia in order to determine the differences and similarities of external funding on health and the major health status between the three Asian countries.
All three countries received many projects and activities from various donors in the seventeen years studied. Two countries, Mongolia and Kyrgyz Republic at the beginning of the study in 1995, received external funds mainly for basic health care needs. Between 2000 and 2005 external funds were provided for improvement of health sectors and health education, especially for the policy and administration and management. In Kazakhstan, in 1995, external funding was geared toward health education, health policy and administration & management. Mongolia, Kyrgyz republic and Kazakhstan’s life styles were strongly related to their mortality rate that means those country need more health education, public health support and human resources improvement than direct capital investment. Effective measures are important when using external funding on health in developing country.
