THIS PAPER CONCLUDES THAT GOOD GOVERNANCE, INCLUDING TRAINING AND MONITORING, ALLOWING MORE NON-GOVERNMENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND THE NEEDS OF THE INFORMAL HEALTHCARE SERVICE PROVIDERS IS IMPORTANT IN ENSURING EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE DELIVERY, AND THAT RETURNS TO INVESTMENTS IN HEALTH ARE LOW WHERE GOVERNANCE ISSUES ARE NOT ADDRESSED.
