Text: 3. Reform of Public Health Administration. 3.1 … 3.2 Reform the administration of public hospitals to ensure greater efficiency and responsiveness to the needs of the people and to the evolving health situation. For instance, budgeting regulations and procedures must be amended to be less obstructive to efficient management; a private sector-type approach to management is to be implemented; along with adequate delegation of authority and the expanded use of the subcontracting approach where this is appropriate. 3.3 … 3.4 Implement a supervisory mechanism to monitor the quality and costs of health services in both the public and private sectors, e.g., require hospitals to make prior notification of fees for each item of service. The general public and independent agents acting on behalf of the people should be encouraged to play a greater role in auditing and monitoring the quality and expense of hospital services.
