El presente capítulo aborda las dinámicas que desencadenaron la primera guerra civil libia, a través de un recorrido histórico que termina con el inicio de la era repu-blicana, profundamente marcada por la ideología gadafista. Se exponen los antecedentes inmediatos que originaron las hostilidades, así como las partes enfrentadas y su respectiva valoración de potenciales. Se aborda, igualmente, la significativa participación de la otan (en cabeza, principalmente, de Estados Unidos., Reino Unido y Francia) en cumpli-miento de las resoluciones emitidas por el Consejo de Seguridad de las Naciones Unidas, evidenciando la clara alianza militar entre actores estatales y no estatales, que finalmente derrocaron al régimen tras la muerte del dictador. Finalmente, se cierra con un recorrido cronológico a través del desarrollo de la campaña militar, para concluir, a través de una breve discusión, con las implicaciones de esta intervención en la seguridad internacional y, en particular, en la denominada ‘responsabilidad de proteger’.

“…The situation is more severe for cancer patients whose treatment costs are generally very high. 5 Zimbabwe has a referral system that starts at the primary care level (clinics/rural health centres) and rises through the district, general and provincial hospitals to the central level, offering specialist care. 6 Primary care facilities are relatively many and easily accessible throughout the country, numbering up to 1634 facilities.…”

Background Many of the cancer cases in Zimbabwe are HIV related, making it a significant health concern in the country. This concern requires innovative ways, such as implementing Value-Added Tax (VAT) to finance cancer management through health insurance. The study explores the general public, cancer patients, and public authorities' perception regarding using the VAT system for financing cancer treatment. Method A qualitative cross-sectional study was conducted to explore the perception of study participants on ‘Value Added Tax’ as a source of healthcare financing in Harare. This was done through the use of in-depth interview guides. A total of 25 participants took part in the study. Fifteen were members of the general public, 5 were cancer patients, and 5 were key informants representing public authority. Members of the general public and cancer patients were conveniently selected, while key informants were purposively selected. Data were analyzed descriptively and by grounded theory whereby codes were developed by induction. Results The general public and cancer patients perceived cancer treatment as generally unaffordable and showed readiness to pay for a cancer levy through VAT. Cancer patients expressed disappointment at the low support for cancer treatment compared to HIV treatment concerning the already established AIDS levy. Public authorities also perceived the VAT system as an appropriate programme for health care financing. Conclusion This preliminary study found that a ‘Value-Added-Tax’ system could potentially be an acceptable model to finance public healthcare, including cancer treatment in highly informal settings like Zimbabwe.
