abstract:
china has engaged in health aid to africa for as long as diplomatic ties have developed between the prc and post-colonial african states in the 1960s. this presentation, based on a review of the literature and data sets collected from aid data, as well as field work in madagascar, assesses the impact of china’s health aid and attempts to determine if, and how, the type of health aid provided and the manner in which it is delivered make a difference in impact on healthcare systems and ultimately on the health of populations.
