Summary:

The current available books and literature that shed light on health policies in many African countries are limited. <i>Transforming Healthcare in Africa: A Comparative Analysis</i> by Professor Robert Dibie examines the key players in the health system game in many African countries. It explores the regulatory regimes that impact the health systems. It also provides few case studies of the relationship between the government, the environment, and their citizens. Apart from filling the gap in the healthcare policy in African literature, the authors also seek to examine the impacts of weak health policies and the inability to effectively formulate solid initiatives for capacity building that could lead to enhanced healthcare delivery for all their citizens. Thus, Dibie's book provides evidence to inform scholarly discussion on the best approaches to strengthen healthcare delivery and public health capacity in many African countries. The book also sought to answer six research questions: (1) How is healthcare delivery perceived by African countries? (2) How are healthcare policies implemented in urban, and rural regions or local governments in African countries? (3) To what extent are current health services delivered to respond to all citizens' needs in African countries? (4) What is the current capacity for rural or local governments to effectively engage in health service delivery? (5) How can citizens living in rural and urban regions be empowered in the health development delivery system? and (6) Which is the best evidence-based management system adopted to improve affordable healthcare system in many African countries?
