description: This report examines how the needs of women fit into the changing health systems of Latin America and the Caribbean. The World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the Pan American Health Organization explore advances and challenges in women's health in the region. Starting with a review of health conditions, the book identifies key health service delivery gaps in the region. It provides new analyses of public spending on women's health and highlights fundamental ways in which health-sector reform strategies--from decentralization to resource mobilization--affect women's health outcomes.
