Abstract

The objective of this paper is to explore stakeholders' acceptance of criteria for setting priorities for the health care system in Uganda. A self-administered questionnaire was used. It was distributed to health workers, planners and administrators working in all levels of the Ugandan health care system. It was also distributed to members of the public. Participants were asked how strongly they agreed or disagreed with 18 criteria that could be used to set priorities for allocating health care. A total of 408 people took part. (InWent/DÜI)
