Universal health insurance has been proven to reduce catastrophic episodes at the point of receipt of healthcare to millions of households. This book elaborates on the Uganda's Journey to universal health insurance coverage and provides lessons that apply to other LMICs. The book elucidates Uganda's health financing system and details the proposed national health insurance schemes. Besides the local achievements, reference is also made to global success stories of Rwanda, Ghana, Tanzania, China, among others. Practitioners in similar settings will find this book handy in designing or operating appropriate health financing mechanisms. This book will further contribute towards global development of universal health coverage and subsequently ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing. |
