Extending Access to Health Care through Public-Private Partnerships: The PROSALUD Experience
By Carlos J. Cuéllar, William Newbrander, and Gail Price
This powerful book tells the story of PROSALUD, an innovative nonprofit network of health centers in Bolivia. Since 1985, PROSALUD has grown to serve over half a million people, while recovering most of its costs through user fees. The book describes how PROSALUD responded to the unmet health needs of low-income populations and shows how the PROSALUD model can be applied to many situations, especially in urban areas.
