◆ Pay attention to geography, because political
administration by local governments is
governed by constituencies.
◆ Decentralization is a process.
◆ Decentralizing hospitals results to greater
complexities in adapting to local government

 Lessons ...

◆ Decentralization requires that

pronouncements are made
authoritatively and consistently.
◆ During the transition process, local and
national health agencies must reach
agreement on complementation of health
services and technical assistance.
◆ an agency, before it is decentralized, has
to have a vision and assign units and
managers to accomplish it
 What lies ahead
◆ Continuation of some major problems
❖ inadequate financial base for devolved functions
❖ collateral actions working as a counter-stream to
decentralization
◆ Changes in administration may result
to changes in policies as well -
recentralization?
But, devolution can still work.
