A multi stakeholder group, comprising approximately 50 officials meet for a series of seven workshops to discuss universal health coverage challenges including revenue collection, benefit package design, the role of private health insurance, and the integration of primary health care in the insurance package. Key issues are identified and addressed in a draft policy paper, reflecting different visions and strategies. An action plan, including specific tasks and deadlines is also produced.
The policy paper will be submitted for approval to the Council of Ministries in April 2013 and will form the basis for future legislation and stakeholder coordination in the area of social health insurance.
