	abstract = {The public dominated national health care system of Ethiopia is afflicted by three formidable structural and financial problems: underfunding, underdevelopment and inequality. It is inequitable in the location and allocation of health resources. There is an overwhelming shortage of essential drugs and other complementary inputs in most government operated health facilities. Because of severe financial crisis in the health sector, most government operated health facilities outside the capital city exist in name only offering very little or inadequate health care services to the majority of people who, for economic and proximity reasons, are highly dependent on their services.The system now needs pragmatic and comprehensive reforms which deal with the concern of future expansion, improvement in the quality of care, and financing, without which it would be very difficult to avert its impending collapse. These major concerns of the health care system of the country were addressed in this thesis using five exploratory models which provided a framework for making choice amongst alternative courses of action for the location, allocation and financing of health care services.The thesis is not presented as a substitute for formal health planning or policy making in Ethiopia. It is rather intended as a framework for analysis and for assisting such formal planning and decision making. The health care development model in this thesis has integrated the physical and financial planning to the year 2008, and put major emphasis on decentralized expansion of equitable basic health care services and improvement in the quality of care which covers all levels of the public health facilities.},
