Abstract

The article assesses the outcome of health reform implemented in Colombia in 1993. It discusses changes to health institutions as well as the difficulties of transferring funding from supply- to demand-side channels. It evaluates the impact of the subsidized health plan on the poor, particularly on their self-reported health status, consumption of nonhealth goods, and labor force participation. It also analyzes the impact of reform on expenditure and hospital efficiency.
