Rethinking Health Insurance and Patient Journeys for Better Care
Manage episode 451400495 series 3508673
From the halls of the Health Systems Research Symposium in Nagasaki, this episode explores two vital health system challenges: improving contributory health insurance models in low- and middle-income countries and addressing fragmented care pathways for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like diabetes and hypertension.
Agnes Gatome-Munyua highlights the shortcomings of contributory health insurance and suggests how better purchasing strategies can make these systems more effective. Dr. Sudha Ramani shares insights from Mumbai’s urban informal settlements, where patient journeys for NCD care are often convoluted and inequitable, pointing to systemic barriers and practical policy solutions.
Packed with actionable insights, this episode is essential for anyone working to build resilient and inclusive health systems globally.
