Charging user fees at point of service
delivery has been widely debated, but much less so how user
fees should be managed. User fees constitute a financial
barrier and can inhibit critical access to service delivery,
especially for the poor and vulnerable. This policy note
recognizes that many hospitals still charge for service
provision at point of use. The policy note addresses the
question on whether the funds collected should be retained
at the facility, which stands in contrast to the public
finance laws of many countries. |
