The peer-reviewed study aimed to gather preliminary insights into the preferred components of the National Health Financing Policy (NHFP), such as its vision, objectives, and mechanisms for revenue collection and provider payments. Key findings highlight support for principles such as equity in access, financial risk protection, efficiency, and community participation. The preferred revenue collection mechanisms were cost-sharing, taxation, and social health insurance, while global budgets were favoured for provider payments. The study concludes that further analysis, including cost-effectiveness and financial feasibility studies, is necessary to develop a comprehensive NHFP.
