The way countries finance health care
influences how well a health system performs and achieves
its expected outcomes, including how equitable and efficient
it is. Countries decide how to mobilize revenues from
different sources for financing health care, how to pool
revenues in public and private insurance and in a national
health system with automatic coverage (risk pooling), and
how to purchase care from health care providers. The World
Bank has implemented health financing activities in 68
countries during FY03-12. Health financing interventions are
found in about 40 percent of the Bank s Health, Nutrition,
and Population portfolio. Most projects include
interventions on revenue collection from public sources.
Almost half of the projects support public health insurance
and automatic coverage. More recently, results-based
financing (RBF) operations became more prominent. The
International Finance Corporation (IFC) delivered a small
program in health financing. The evaluation makes five main
recommendations: support government commitment and build
technical and information capacity; address health financing
as a cross-cutting issue at the country level; focus on
health financing as a core comparative advantage; integrate
all health financing functions; and strengthen monitoring
and evaluation in Bank and IFC projects. |
