A joint P4H scoping mission comprising WHO, World Bank, France, Switzerland, European Union and the P4H Coordination Desk runs from 20 to 24 June 2011. After two days of meetings with different Ministry of Health officials and development partners, the scoping mission team present a basic review of the existing health financing mechanisms and a few ideas about the content of the roadmap to the Government. The health financing analysis and the structure of the roadmap is validated.
The team’s main recommendations include: documenting the performance of the country’s existing health financing mechanisms (hospital emergencies exemption scheme, performance-based financing, community-based health insurance, etc.); improving coordination between these different mechanisms; building national capacity in health financing matters as a priority activity; drafting a national universal health coverage strategy linked to other related national strategies (social protection, national health plan, sustainable development and growth) and setting up a two-tier steering structure to oversee the proposed process.
