Book excerpt: This document provides detailed advice in support of implementation of version 2.0 of the Health Financing Progress Matrix (HFPM) released in December 2020, detailed in Assessing country health financing systems: the health financing progress matrix. Geneva: World Health Organization; 2020. The HFPM is WHO’s standardized qualitative approach to assessing country health financing systems, and comprises two stages. Stage 1 provides a descriptive landscape of the different coverage schemes and programmes in the health system, including how the health budget is organized. Stage 2 comprises thirty-three questions which look in detail at the way health financing institutions and policies are organized, and how they are implemented. For each question the guide discusses why it is important to ask, and what progress looks like, together with country illustrations. Thoughts on information sources and quantitative indicators which can support the assessment are also provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document outlines the background to and design of the Health Financing Progress Matrix (HFPM), WHO’s standardized qualitative approach to assessing country health financing systems. Primarily qualitative in nature, but drawing on extensive quantitative indicators, the HFPM assesses a country’s health financing institutions, processes, policies and their implementation, against good practice in the context of universal health coverage (UHC). Benchmarks are defined in terms of nineteen desirable attributes, which crystallize evidence about what works in health financing in order to make progress to UHC. The paper also details a number of processes which govern the implementation of the HFPM in countries, to ensure the results are objective and credible. While health financing is only one of the core functions of a health system, it significantly influences both the extent to which the population can access health services, as well as the extent to which they face financial hardship in the process. Through a forward-looking design, the HFPM not only assesses the current situation in a country, but also makes clear recommendations of priority directions for policy and implementation, both accelerating progress towards UHC, and helping to build resilience across the health systems.

This book was released on 2024-08-27 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the findings of the Health Financing Progress Matrix assessment for Zambia. Recognizing the remarkable progress towards UHC made by the country over the past twenty years, the report also highlights weaknesses in the current health financing system and, extending from this, those priority issues to be addressed in order to further accelerate Zambia’s progress towards universal health coverage (UHC). Specifically, the report notes the importance of sustaining levels of public funding for health, progressively reducing reliance on external funding, and reinforcing the provision of free services in primary care facilities. Further recommendations include the need to accelerate the shift from passive to strategic purchasing, and institutionalizing shifts in the public financial management system to ensure that adequate operational funds reach frontline service providers in a timely fashion. Finally, the duplication in benefits across the budget-funded EPHS, the National Health Insurance Scheme, and some services provided through vertical disease programmes need to be addressed, for example through the establishment of a unified benefits framework. The latest information on Zambia’s performance in terms of UHC and key health expenditure indicators are also presented. This report is intended both to inform current health financing policy, and to provide a baseline for the future monitoring of Zambia’s progress in developing and implementing UHC-oriented health financing reforms.
Download or read book Political economy analysis for health financing written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2024-07-04 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “Political Economy of Health Financing: How-to Guide” lays out a structured way to organize and analyze key political economy factors that can impact a health financing reform. This Guide, along with WHO’s broader programme of work on Political Economy of Health Financing Reform, explicitly recognizes the importance of political economy factors in influencing health financing reform trajectories. This Guide is not intended as a toolbox or comprehensive mapping of all the potential political economy factors and strategies related to health financing reform. Rather, it provides a stepwise process for analysis and structured thinking about issues related to health financing and political economy. By understanding the various stakeholders involved in health financing reform, their relative power, interests and position, along with the institutions that shape the bargaining process and the related contextual and economic factors, strategies can be developed to overcome or take into account stakeholders’ resistance or support. The objective of incorporating political economy analysis in this way is to support a more strategic approach to reform as a way to increase the likelihood of effective design, adoption and implementation and ultimately progress towards UHC.
