Decision Space and Capacities in the Decentralization of Health Services in FijiComment on "Decentralisation of Health Services in Fiji: A Decision Space Analysis"

Int J Health Policy Manag. 2016 Jul 1;5(7):443-444. doi: 10.15171/ijhpm.2016.51.

Abstract

The study of decentralization in Fiji shows that increasing capacities is not necessarily related to increasing decision space of local officials, which is in contrast with earlier studies in Pakistan. Future studies should address the relationship among decision space, capacities, and health system performance.

Keywords: Capacities of Health Officials; Decentralization of Health Systems; Decision Space.
