Willingness to pay for National Health Insurance Fund among public servants in Juba City South Sudan: a contingent evaluation

摘要

BackgroundThis study assessed willingness to pay for National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) among public servants in Juba City. NHIF is the proposed health insurance scheme for South Sudan and aims at achieving universal health coverage for the entire nation’s population. One compounding issue is that over the years, governments’ spending on healthcare has been decreasing from 8.4% of national budget in 2007 to only 2.2% in 2012.
