The World Health Report 2000 is an expert analysis of the increasingly important
influence of health systems in the daily lives of people worldwide. To an unprecedented
degree it takes account of the role of people as providers and consumers of health services, as
financial contributors to health systems, as workers within them, and as citizens engaged in
their responsible management, or stewardship.

Health systems provide the critical interface between life-saving, life-enhancing

interventions and the people who need them. If health systems are weak, the power of these
interventions is likewise weakened, or even lost. Health systems thus deserve the highest
priority in any efforts to improve health or ensure that resources are wisely used. In recent
decades, health systems have contributed enormously to better health for most of the global
population. As the new century begins, they have the potential to achieve further
improvements in human wellbeing, especially for the poor. But very little has yet been done
to unravel the complex factors which explain good or bad performance by individual health
systems.

Given equal resources, why do some succeed where others fail? Is performance
simply driven by the laws of supply and demand, or does another logic apply? Why is
dissatisfaction with services so widespread, even in wealthy countries offering the latest
interventions? If systems need improvement, what tools exist to measure performance and
outcomes? These are some of the many questions addressed in this report. Drawing upon a
range of experiences and analytical tools, the report traces the evolution of health systems,
explores their diverse characteristics, and uncovers a unifying framework of shared goals and
functions. Using this as a basis for analysis, the report breaks new ground in presenting an
index of health system performance based on three fundamental goals: improving the level
and distribution of health, enhancing the responsiveness of the system to the legitimate
expectations of the population, and assuring fair financial contributions. As the report
convincingly argues, good performance depends critically on the delivery of high-quality
services. But it relies on more than that.

Health systems must also protect citizens from the financial risks of illness and meet
their expectations with dignified care. The report goes on to show how the achievement of
these goals depends on the ability of each system to carry out four main functions: service
provision, resource generation, financing, and stewardship. Chapters devoted to each function
offer new conceptual insights and practical advice on how to assess performance and achieve
improvements with available resources. In doing so, The World Health Report 2000 aims to
stimulate a vigorous debate about better ways of measuring health system performance and
thus finding a successful new direction for health systems to follow. By shedding new light
on what makes health systems behave in certain ways, WHO also hopes to help policy-
makers understand the many complex issues involved, weigh their options, and make wise
choices.

Beauty has captured human interest since before Plato, but how, why, and to whom
does beauty matter in today's world? Whose standard of beauty motivates African Americans
to straighten their hair? What inspires beauty queens to measure up as flawless objects for the
male gaze? Why does a French performance artist use cosmetic surgery to remake her face
into a composite of the master painters' version of beauty? How does beauty culture perceive
the disabled body? Is the constant effort to remain young and thin, often at considerable
economic and emotional expense, ethically justifiable? Provocative essays by an international
group of scholars discuss aesthetics in aesthetics, the arts, the tools of fashion, the materials
of decoration, and the big business of beautification—beauty matters—to reveal the ways
gender, race, and sexual orientation have informed the concept of beauty and driven us to
become more beautiful. Here, Kant rubs shoulders with Calvin Klein. Beauty Matters draws
from visual art, dance, cultural history, and literary and feminist theory to explore the values
and politics of beauty. Various philosophical perspectives on ethics and aesthetics emerge
from this penetrating book to determine and reveal that beauty is never disinterested.
