| 500 ## - GENERAL NOTE | |
| General note | Presents studies that reveal the prospects and the potential for user fees and self-financing health insurance not just as a way of raising more money, but as tools that can help improve efficiency, equity, sustainability and private sector participation in national health systems. User fees are emphasised as a form of cost-sharing because private, out-of-pocket expenditures for health account for nearly one-half of total health expenditures in Africa. Presents country experiences that give the benefits to be gained by carefully designed user-charge policies. Emphasises self-financing health insurance, which is seen to offer Sub-Saharan Africa opportunities to develop better health care systems. |
