The main funding sources are: households, the State, the private sector, and donors. Cameroon does not have a national health financing strategic plan. The various financing functions (resource collection; resource pooling and risk sharing mechanisms; and purchase of health services) do not meet a national logical framework. The proportion of the State budget allocated to health varies between 6 and 8% since 2011. This proportion is below the commitment made by African leaders during the Abuja Summit in April 2001 where they recommended the allocation of 15% of national budgets to health. Public financial resources allocated to health are insufficient; this promotes dependency on external financing and households. It is estimated that the COVID-19 pandemic increased the extreme poverty rate from 24.5 % in 2019 to 25.3 % in 2021 and this has severely hampered the ability of many Cameroonians to secure access to health services out of pocket.. It is therefore against this backdrop that the Health Policy and Research Division of the Nkafu Policy Institute is organizing this webinar to identify the challenges associated with financing health care in Cameroon.<br \/>\nObjectives<br \/>\nOverall objective is to identify the challenges associated with health care financing in Cameroon and strategies necessary to overcome them.<br \/>\nSpecifically:<br \/>\n\u2013 To identify the different financing sources in Cameroon.<br \/>\n\u2013 To assess the challenges associated and opportunities available to finance health care in Cameroon.<br \/>\n\u2013 Propose policy recommendations for an effective financing of health care in Cameroon.<br \/>\nTarget audience<br \/>\nThis webinar will bring together health economists, public health researchers, civil society organizations, private health insurance companies, policy makers and the general public.<br \/>\nExpected outcomes<br \/>\n\u2013 The challenges associated with health care finance in Cameroon are outlined.<br \/>\n\u2013 Policy recommendations for an effective and efficient finance of health care services are proposed<br \/>\nPanelists\/Moderator<br
