Abstract
Received: 31 May, 2020 Accepted: 12 Sep, 2020 Abstract Background and Objectives: Strategic purchasing of health care services is one of the major issues contributing to the enhancement of the performance and reform of healthcare systems across the globe. Traditional (passive) purchasing suffers from serious weaknesses, such as low efficiency in the health care system, lack of targeted resources, Resource inefficiency, and unfair access to services. To solve these problems, the World Health Organization has introduced strategic purchasing as the main activity to improve the performance of healthcare systems. In light of the aforementioned issues, the present study aimed to investigate the challenges and problems of strategic purchasing in the health sector.
