In order to summarise the experience of the region, identify the most important lessons learned from cutting-edge health reforms, and suggest policy recommendations for the creation of sustainable health systems. The study will examine a representative sample of health system reforms across the Asia–Pacific region. The study highlights the importance of combining financial and non-financial incentives.
