The Effect of Ethiopia’s Community-Based Health Insurance Scheme on Revenues and Quality of Care - P4H Network

The Effect of Ethiopia’s Community-Based Health Insurance Scheme on Revenues and Quality of Care

This paper relies on a difference-in-differences approach applied to both panel and cross-section data. We find that CBHI-affiliated facilities experience a 111% increase in annual outpatient visits and annual revenues increase by 47%. Increased revenues are used to ameliorate drug shortages. These increases have translated into enhanced patient satisfaction. Patient satisfaction increased by 11 percentage points. Despite the increase in patient volume, there is no discernible increase in waiting time to see medical professionals.
