SUMMARY:Willingness to pay for health insurance subscription: An Analysis of the potential to increase subscription rates
DESCRIPTION:May 17\, 2023\, 15:00 – 16:00 (GMT + 1) ZOOM Platform (Register now) \nBackground\nHealth insurance is regarded as a means to allow financial risk protection and allow the middle\nand low-income countries to have access to healthcare. However\, these countries grossly\nunderutilize health insurance schemes for a variety of reasons including: reliability in the\nscheme\, inadequate knowledge of the importance of insurance schemes and level of education\nsignificantly affected uptake of health insurance schemes. The consequence is unplanned outof-pocket payments (OPP) and use of general incomes as key sources of health care financing.\nThis contributes to deepen social inequalities\, while exposing populations to poor quality health\ncare services and financial catastrophes related to the burden of health spending. The\nwillingness to pay for insurance subscription is an important indicator to assess in order to make\nrecommendations on the suitable health insurance schemes within the Cameroonian context.\nGeneral Objectives\n– To assess the willingness to pay for health insurance among health care users\nSpecifically\n– Determine the factors that influence the willingness to pay for health insurance\n– Propose the type health insurance schemes that might be suitable for implementation in\nCameroon.\nTargeted audience\nThis panel discussion will bring together representatives from the ministry of public health\,\nhealth economists\, health care providers\, health researchers\, civil society organizations\,\nhealth equity advocates\, policy makers as well as the general public.\nDenis & Lenora Foretia Foundation – Catalyzing Africa’s Economic Transformation\nOpposite College Jesus Marie – Simbock\, P.O.BOX 14315 Yaoundé\, Cameroon\nTel: (+237) 22 31 15 84 / 654 86 72 54\ninfo@foretiafoundation.org – www.foretiafoundation.org\nExpected outcome\n– The factors that determine the willingness to pay for health insurance will be identified\n– Suitable health insurance schemes will be proposed for implementation in Cameroon\nModerator\nDr Odette Kibu\, Senior Health Policy Analyst | Nkafu Policy Institute\nOnline Participation – REGISTER NOW
