Health Insurance is a way of financing health care where individuals or households’ contributions are pooled together, so when members fall sick they access a defined package of health services without having to pay out of pocket. This has the potential to protect households from impoverishment due to healthcare costs. Health insurance therefore can help a country to achieve universal health coverage. This booklet provides answers to the questions that people have as to the importance of implementing a national health insurance in Uganda with the goal of improving understanding and  support for national health insurance implementation.
