This report presents findings from an assessment of quality of care in the health sector in Colombia, using a novel methodology developed by the World Bank Group to assess government oversight, promotion and stewardship of quality of care in the health sector. This assessment of quality of care in the health sector in Colombia examines how well governments strategize, plan and measure quality; set standards of care; build capacity for quality improvement in the sector; ensure adequate resources are available and well distributed to support quality results; hold organizations accountable for quality results; apply quality policies consistently; and achieve superior quality of care results. This methodology evaluates these eight domains using 49 criteria based on 171 standards. The assessment is based on quantitative analytics, key informant interviews, over 30 visits of public and private healthcare facilities, a review of key policy documents and a survey of a sample of health insurance companies. The assessment is a joint initiative from the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and was undertaken for the first time in Colombia. It took place from January to June 2019.

High-quality education that translates into better and more relevant skills pays off for individuals, communities and societies in significant and diverse ways. It leads to higher earnings, increased productivity, innovation and sustained economic growth. Beyond these economic outcomes, high-quality education also generates a wide range of social returns. Better-educated individuals live longer and healthier lives. They become more engaged citizens and are more likely to take action for collective well-being. Sustained high-quality education supports communities in proactively addressing emerging challenges, such as climate change but also making the most of new opportunities, such as the digital transformation. This chapter provides an overview of the broader social outcomes of education. Such returns span a continuum, from private benefits (e.g. better health, better opportunities for ones children) to societal ones, as private benefits translate into positive externalities and collective benefits. The social outcomes of education can thus be considered as an outcome in themselves or as a crucial channel towards better economic outcomes.
