World Bank Funding and Health Care Sector Performance in Central and Eastern Europe

Department of Political Science and Public Administration, Mississippi State University, PO Box PC, Mississippi State, MS 39762, USA, dradin{at}ps.msstate.edu

This article looks at the impact of World Bank funding on health care sector performance in Central and Eastern European countries. The World Bank has been one of few organizations involved in health care sector assistance in these nations during the transition period, mainly through funds disbursement. This article tests hypotheses that those countries that perform better economically, that are more favorably evaluated by the World Bank, and that have more effective institutions are also more likely to benefit from World Bank assistance, through improvements in the performance of their health care sectors.

Key Words: Health care • World Bank • International institutions
