This report seeks to formulate a long-term
vision for Haiti’s health sector to accelerate
progress toward universal health coverage
(UHC), a key objective of the government’s
National Health Policy (Politique Nationale
de Santé, PNS)–MSPP (2012). Progress toward this goal
has been hindered by political instability and frequent
natural catastrophes. Most recently, in October 2016,
Hurricane Matthew wreaked havoc on Haiti’s health
system. It has been estimated that at least 1,000 people
died and 1.4 million Haitians were directly affected
by the hurricane. Such disasters have influenced Haiti’s
government and development partners by demanding
a short-term focus on acute need priorities. This
study aims to take a step back, assess Haiti’s health
financing system, and identify critical constraints and
opportunities to accelerate progress toward UHC
and the health-related United Nations’ Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) in the long term. The report
compiles existing studies and information, and it
provides new analysis of larger data sets, as well as
hospital financing data. To our knowledge, it is the first
attempt to assess systematically the health financing
system in Haiti. |
