HESVIC is a three-year research project (2009-12) being implemented under the European Community Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).
The project aims to investigate stewardship and regulation as it relates to governance of health systems in policy and practice through a comparative study of three Asian countries – Vietnam, India and China. The project uses maternal health care services as a case study of stewardship and regulation. The goal is to support policy decisions in the application and extension of principles of accessibility, affordability, equity and quality coverage of health care in the three countries.
