New document on payment mechanism for institutional births in Nepal is now available

This study aimed  to assess MIS coverage in Nepal and OOPs among women who had institutional births. Findings showed that 96.5 % of the women enrolled in the study were covered under the MIS, while the average OOPs per birth was 41.5 USD, of which 36 % accounted for transportation cost. In addition, the OOPs was varied by mode of delivery, duration of hospital-stay, and hospital of birth. To read more, please click the link below.
