| Description |
The authors hypothesize that decentralization reforms should be offset with the establishment of policy network of policy professionals across the country. To verify it, this study compares the development of health service systems and decentralization reform consequences in Japan and the Philippines. Japan started promoting decentralization of health services, after establishing national health administration. The Philippines decentralized health administration prior to the establishment of a national health system, resulting in fragmentation of public health services. The comparative study of health reforms emphasizes that an excess of decentralization will widen the gaps among communities. Intergovernmental management is a key factor in making decentralization work.
