Abstract

Health care is considered a basic human right in Sri Lanka, and, reflecting this priority, the government dedicates government tax revenues to ensure equitable access to all people in the country, regardless of whether they are a citizen. In particular, Sri Lanka has recognized the inherent market failures associated with financing health promotion and prevention related services, and has therefore prioritized investments in those areas. In building off of the conceptual foundation and definition of common goods for health (CGH), this commentary provides an in-depth look at the successes and challenges in the financing and provision of CGH in Sri Lanka. This reflection is particularly timely given the country’s current plans to transform primary health care to meet the growing demands placed on the system by non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and emerging and re-emerging diseases.

为卫生共同产品筹资:斯里兰卡

在斯里兰卡，医疗保健被视为一项基本人权，为反映这一优先事项，政府将政府税收专门用于确保国内所有人，无论其是否是公民，都能公平获得医疗保健。特别是，斯里兰卡认识到在为促进健康和预防相关服务提供资金方面存在固有的市场失灵，因此将这些领域的投资列为优先事项。本评论以卫生共同利益的概念基础和定义为基础，深入探讨了斯里兰卡在资助和提供卫生共同利益方面取得的成功和面临的挑战。鉴于该国目前计划改革初级卫生保健，以满足非传染性疾病以及新出现和再出现的疾病对该系统提出的日益增长的需求，这种反思尤其及时。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
