title: [Meeting the Abuja and Millennium Development Goals: the state more than ever].
abstract: In the 1980s and 1990s, healthcare policies in poor countries were largely based on the privatization of the healthcare supply. Over the past decade, this trend has led to the expansion of private initiatives in both the nonprofit and profit-seeking sectors. Assessments of these initiatives show mixed results and sometimes pernicious effects. It is accordingly necessary to review and redesign policies to enable public entities and States to once again become leaders in the development of integrated and socially inclusive health policies.
