Health System Reforms In Algeria: Governance, Efficiency, And Contribution To Economic Development
Authors : Idiri Yanis . Ait Bara Hani .
Abstract
In the context of structural reforms aimed at diversifying the Algerian economy, the health sector has been identified as a strategic pillar. Facing rising healthcare expenditures and technological challenges, optimal resource management has become imperative to transform this social sector into a driver of sustainable economic development. This study moves beyond an accounting-based vision of health to theorize mechanisms through which effective governance can maximize social return on investment and stimulate GDP growth. Based on health economics and public governance theories, and anchored in secondary empirical data (World Bank & WHO, 2015-2022), a critical literature review of recent Algerian health reforms is conducted to extract levers of technical and allocative efficiency. Key performance indicators reveal a persistent gap between resources mobilized and outcomes achieved, confirming that governance quality remains the central bottleneck.
