It is widely recognized that better health is a prerequisite for the overall economic and social development of a nation. Sri Lanka, like many other countries experiencing the epidemiological transition, will have to make effective decisions on health-care service management and the development of education and training programs for health-care professionals. This paper provides a comprehensive review of current health service administration, health status, trends and issues, and health financing and resource allocation in Sri Lanka. The review revealed that Sri Lanka has achieved a relatively high health status given a low level of spending on its health-care services; however, Sri Lanka still experiences vital health problems in all stages of the life cycle, mainly related to lifestyle and the epidemiological transition associated with widespread societal and economic crises.
人们普遍认识到，良好的健康状况是一个国家整体经济和社会发展的先决条件。与许多其他经历流行病学转变的国家一样，斯里兰卡将不得不就医疗服务管理以及医疗保健专业人员的教育培训计划的制定做出有效决策。本文全面回顾了斯里兰卡当前的卫生服务管理、健康状况、趋势和问题以及卫生筹资和资源分配情况。审查发现，尽管斯里兰卡的医疗服务支出水平较低，但该国已取得了相对较高的健康水平；然而，斯里兰卡在生命周期的各个阶段仍面临重大的健康问题，主要与生活方式以及与广泛的社会和经济危机相关的流行病学转变有关。
