Where has Gabon gone wrong, and what are the challenges that Gabon is facing in improving health outcomes? Gabon is an emerging economy, while it has achieved high economic development it still has not achieved living standards and health outcomes seen in upper middle income countries. Gabon faces low life expectancy (63 years), levels as seen in other low income countries. It is in an early stage of an epidemiological transition. 410 0$aWorld Bank Studies 606 $aSustainable development$zGabon 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSustainable development 676 $a338.9672107 700 $aSaleh$b Karima$0953693 702 $aCouttolenc$b Bernard F. 702 $aBarroy$b Helene 702 $aDebra$b Naylor 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459591703321 996 $aHealth financing in the Republic of Gabon$92156400 997 $aUNINA
