Health financing strategies and provider payment mechanisms

Within the context of health sector reform, many countries focus on reforming their health care financing system. Existing health financing systems are being remodelled to better respond to risk pooling or new structures of health care financing have been proposed: tax-based financing, social health insurance, private or community-based health insurance, cost-recovery systems, user fees, capitation payments, health funds/grants, etc. Most of these proposals seek to ensure adequate and equitable resource mobilisation for health.

HERA has contributed to several specific studies and proposals regarding health financing. For examples, click here.
