\u201cThe contribution of private health insurance to health care finance in Cameroon\u201dAugust 31, 2022, 9:00am \u2013 13:00pm (Cameroon time)Muna Foundation, Yaound\u00e9, Cameroon (Register Now)
\n1. Background
\nHealth insurance is typically regarded as a means to allow financial risk protection and allow the low-income family to have access to health care. There are several types of health insurance that help to prevent the tragic medical events and commonly related to out of pocket expenditure. These insurance schemes help the government to finance health care, improve access to health care services and promote universal health coverage. Despite the several private health insurance schemes in Cameroon, solely 36.1% have access to the health center. How can private health insurance operators effectively finance health care in Cameroon to cover a large proportion of the population? What are some of the challenges faced by these operators? These are some of the questions that the Health Policy and Research Division of the Nkafu Policy Institute seeks to answer in this webinar.
\n2. Objectives
\nOverall objective is to highlight the contributions made by private health insurance schemes in financing health care in Cameroon.
\nSpecifically:
\n\u2013 To identify the challenges faced by private health insurance operators in Cameroon.
\n\u2013 To make actionable recommendations that can provide a favourable environment for the operations of these different health insurance schemes
\n3. Target audience
\nThis webinar will bring together health economists, public health researchers, civil society organizations, private health insurance companies, policy makers and the general public.
\n4. Expected outcomes
\n\u2013 Increased awareness of the contributions and challenges faced by private health insurance operators in Cameroon.
