The Health Systems in Transition (HiT) profiles are country-based reports that provide a detailed description of a health system and of reform and policy initiatives in progress or under development in a specific country. Each profile is produced by country experts in collaboration with an international editor. In order to facilitate comparisons between countries, the profiles are based on a common template used by the Asia Pacific and European Observatories on Health Systems and Policies. The template provides detailed guidelines and specific questions, definitions and examples needed to compile a profile.

This report discusses several different approaches that support reforming health care services in developing countries. For some time now, health care services have been supported by government funds. As demands for improving health care services continue to increase additional demands will be placed on governments to respond. This, however, will not be easy. Slow economic growth and record budget deficits in the 1980's have forced reductions in public spending. Alternative approaches to finance health care services are needed. Such possible changes could involve: decentralization of federal government involvement; the promotion of nongovernment involvement; the imposition of user fees; and, establishing health insurance. Finally, the role of the Bank in pursuing new financing strategies is discussed.

Hospitals receive the lion's share of resources in developing countries although other types of care are more cost effective. This study shows how hospital waste can be cut, improvements in managerial and technical efficiency, and involvement of hospitals in the policy dialog regarding use of resources can yield great benefits.

As a small island dependent on tourism, Fiji’s economy contracted sharply with the pandemic and then rebounded strongly in 2022, as tourism recovered with the reopening of international travel. Growth momentum is expected to continue in 2023, as tourist inflows approach pre-pandemic levels. The new government installed in December has committed to pursue economic reforms that promote inclusive growth and fiscal sustainability. Downside risks to the outlook stem from weaker growth in tourism-source countries, delayed recovery in hotel capacity, and exacerbated skilled labor shortages. Fiji remains vulnerable to external shocks related to natural disasters and climate change.
