Health financing beyond aid: three questions
Three questions that any credible plan for domestic health financing has to answer, and what the current evidence suggests about each of them.
Three questions
Discussions of health financing beyond aid tend to move quickly to instruments. We think three prior questions matter more, and are asked less often.
What it covers
- What is actually being financed, and at what level of the system
- Who bears the residual risk when domestic revenue falls short
- What has to be true institutionally for a financing shift to hold
