A socioeconomic evaluation ofcommunity based health insurance in Anambra stateNigeria (360G-Wellcome-083159_Z_07_A)

How to ensure that the poor and vulnerable groups are protected against ill health has remained a problem especially in the developing countries. In many cases, the poor are exposed to difficult health conditions and often stand no chance of survival because they lack the financial power to take care of themselves. It is therefore necessary to evaluate the risk protection options that are available so as to know how the poor are considered. We need to know if there are differentials in incentives for health care suppliers to protect the poor. We shall also investigate the willingness and ability of the CBHI programme managers to monitor, regulate and ensure that healthcare providers comply with rules and regulations of the programme to ensure financial risk protection of the people. The method of the research will include qualitative and quantitative data collection and the analysis will be done using SPSS, STATA and EpiInfo for quantitative data while qualitative data will be analysed using Text-base-beta software packages. It is expected that we shall be able to come up with recommendations on how best to improve community based health insurance in the country.
