مستخلص: The chapter details a reform project implemented in Tunisia from 1997 until 2001 which follows the implementation in 1992 of an earlier reform aimed at reorganizing the national health system and modernizing the administrative methods of the public health structures by making them responsible for developing their own administrative policy and for ensuring their own financial equilibrium. The nationwide efforts to organize health care, combined with the multiplicity of different schemes has led to an annual average growth rate in national health expenditure higher than that of GDP based on current practices, a proliferation of types of cover with no coordination or harmony and inequalities in the distribution of the costs and benefits of health care, among others.
