The NPM reforms proposed promoting competition in service delivery among providers as a way to increase efficiency and reduce costs in the system. This included introducing market-style mechanisms into the public sector, such as contracting out services and introducing performance-based funding. Encouraging patients to be compliant toward prescribed treatments, cutting back services, and increasing opportunities for medical tourism were not part of the NPM reforms.
