Download or read book Financing Micro Health Insurance Theory Methods And Evidence written by David M Dror and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2018-12-27 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthcare for all at affordable prices is still a major but universally elusive goal. Everyone spends money on healthcare, and it is the most impoverishing consumption item. Thus, most governments (and the United Nations) promote Universal Health Coverage — each country's unique blend of tools for healthcare financing, including taxes, subsidies and market controls.Most people in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have no health insurance of any kind. And most LMIC governments lack the political will, information, or resources to require their citizens to buy health insurance themselves or to subsidize insurance for all who cannot afford the price. This book deals with financing voluntary and contributory health insurance for resource-poor and rural groups in LMICs.This book addresses three issues. The first is how to catalyse demand for health insurance and develop insurance literacy among the largely illiterate and innumerate target population, using training programs to build an enabling consensus, allowing locals to create and administer such schemes. The second involves the process of developing simplified methods for risk assessment, which can help to underwrite risks, price the micro health insurance schemes, and ensure proper implementation. The third issue is formulating a compelling business case which would make this health insurance affordable, financially sustainable, and operationally scalable.This book develops insurance education and financial literacy for students of economics, business administration, insurance, development studies, and social work to prepare them for practical work as implementers, policymakers, or evaluators. A supplementary section for teachers and students includes comprehension questions.

Download or read book Handbook of Micro Health Insurance in Africa written by Hans Jürgen Rösner and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2012 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Micro health insurance is an emerging concept to reduce poverty and social exclusion and improve health care access. The Handbook of Micro Health Insurance in Africa gives an overview of the challenges and needs in the field of micro health insurance. Focusing on Sub-Saharan Africa, where universal social health protection still has a way to go, the Handbook provides an introduction to the relatively new and promising approach of micro insurance as a risk management tool for low-income households, between the market, self-help, and the state. This book is an output of the project Pro MHI Africa, which is funded by the European Union and directed by the University of Cologne in cooperation with the University of Botswana, the University of Ghana, and the University of Malawi.

Download or read book Health Micro Insurance Schemes Feasibility Study Guide written by International Labour Office and published by International Labour Organisation. This book was released on 2005-01 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order for micro-insurance schemes to be durable and have the capacities to develop, it is important for them to be well formulated from their start. To this effect, it is essential to conduct a systematic feasibility study prior to the establishment or further development of a health micro-insurance scheme. The guide will help promoters of health micro-insurance schemes to realize such a study. It will allow for the analysis of the necessary prerequisites for the creation of such a scheme, as well as identifying the characteristics (the organisation, the services, etc.) necessary for its viability and its effectiveness. The guide is organised in two volumes. The first provides a step-by-step procedure, which will help actors to organise their implementation of the study. The second focuses on the methods and tools relating to each step, offering concrete support for putting the procedure into practice.

Download or read book Impact of Health Insurance in Low and Middle income Countries written by Maria-Luisa Escobar and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past twenty years, many low- and middle-income countries have experimented with health insurance options. While their plans have varied widely in scale and ambition, their goals are the same: to make health services more affordable through the use of public subsidies while also moving care providers partially or fully into competitive markets. Until now, however, we have known little about the actual effects of these dramatic policy changes. Understanding the impact of health insurance-based care is key to the public policy debate of whether to extend insurance to low-income populationsand if so, how to do itor to serve them through other means.
