We also gratefully acknowledge our colleagues responsible for the production
process for this book, which was coordinated by Jonathan North with the
support of Caroline White and Jane Ward (copy-editing and proof-reading)
and Hugh Allan (production manager).
Finally, the editors, the WHO Regional Office for Europe and the European
Observatory on Health Systems and Policies would like to take this
opportunity to thank the Government of Norway for its financial support in
initiating this study and for its steadfast support in putting this research on
the international health policy agenda. We also thank the United Kingdom
Department for International Development for funding that supported the
research and production of the case study chapters on Estonia, Greece, Ireland,
Latvia, Lithuania and Portugal. We are equally indebted to the National Health
Insurance Fund of Korea, which provided the funding for three further case
studies on Belgium, France and the Netherlands, which are included in this
volume. All the financial support received has made possible the gathering of
evidence that we hope will contribute to cross-country learning and future
health system strengthening.
