Examines health insurance schemes, which implies an assessment of insurance focused primarily on persons working in the formal sector of the economy (and their dependants). Looks at health policy objectives and the common problems that health systems in Africa are experiencing. According to the information presented, many countries are faced with existing health insurance schemes that require major reforms, irrespective of whether or not a government makes an effort to expand coverage with insurance schemes for the formal sector. Suggests what governments can do to encourage efficiency within insurance schemes.
