description

Development economics and health economics evolved according to dynamics which their are appropriate.The issues concerning the role of health in developing countries, if they had formerly no echo which theytake on today, nevertheless concerned a rather big number of specialists. The approaches in terms of humancapital, endogenous growth... tend today to recognise health and education as pillars of human development.But the objective of development, qualified since the Bruntland's report, of "sustainable", does it give way tothe development of health systems? The aim of this paper is double: on one hand, it consists in tempting aclarification of the concept of sustainable development generally, and in identifying the role (s) of health andhealth policies in the achievement of this objective. On the other hand, one tries to estimate the variousmodels of health policies at the ell of the sustainability of the development. One proposes then a frameworkof health policies which allows on a side, to identify the conditions according to which health policies are"sustainable" and which, on another side, allows to identify the reasons of failures of the last policies and toquestion the viability of current reforms.
