The impact of health insurance in low- and middle-income countries

摘要

The role and relevance of social health insurance (SHI), seen as a critical financial 'innovation', once again appears to be assuming centre-stage. Escobar and colleagues in this book discuss the global move towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC) that has come in the wake of a renewed vigour towards SHI-based systems in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) (such as Thailand, Ghana, Mexico, etc.) in recent years.
