- Measuring Financial Protection in Health
[20]Health systems are not just about improving health: good ones also ensure that people are protected from the financial consequences of receiving medical care. This document by Adam Wagstaff (The World Bank) focuses on the following issues: How can one measure the success with which a health system protects people against the financial consequences of ill health? What do systems that do well in this regard have in common? And how far do health system reforms improve people’s financial protection vis-à-vis health expenses? - National Anti-Poverty Organization [21]
