Financing satellite outpatient care in rural hospitals

Article Abstract:

The partnership between a government-run urban medical center and a private rural hospital is evaluated. The strategy involved the governement finance of outpatient services with the private hospital serving as a satellite. Results indicate that while it seems the strategy is specific to the situation of the case study, it can be used profitably for other urban medical centers. Decentralized outpatient services also made use of hitherto unused space in rural hospitals.
