International Network Health Policy & Reform
This expert group coordinated by the Bertelsmann Foundation produces up-to-date information on health policy developments in 20 industrialized countries from around the world. The objective is to inform and enrich health policy discussions in and across countries. Its public Web site, the Health Policy Monitor (HPM), explains innovative health policy ideas and current pieces of legislation in different stages of implementation. Along with providing information for selected European countries, HPM also adds a non-European perspective surveying health policy developments from the U.S., Canada, Israel, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea. Every six months, in May and in November, you can find new reports. Click here to search for policy reforms on the Health Policy Monitor website.
