    Amid successive shocks to the global economy, persistent inequalities within and between countries and limited availability of public resources, policymakers and the public face pressing decisions that underscore the vital role of procedural fairness in health financing for universal health coverage. This special supplement features eight articles examining the critical relationship between procedural fairness and health financing, drawing from t…

  • Criteria for the procedural fairness of health financing decisions

    Open AccessE Dale, Elizabeth F Peacocke et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2023

    Due to constraints on institutional capacity and financial resources, the road to universal health coverage (UHC) involves difficult policy choices. To assist with these choices, scholars and policy makers have done extensive work on criteria to assess the substantive fairness of health financing policies: their impact on the distribution of rights, duties, benefits and burdens on the path towards UHC.

  • New strides towards fair processes for financing universal health coverage

    Open AccessChristoph Kurowski, D Evans et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2023

    Many countries rely heavily on patients' out-of-pocket payments to providers to finance their health care systems. This prevents some people from seeking care and results in financial catastrophe and impoverishment for others who do obtain care. Surveys in eighty-nine countries covering 89 percent of the world's population suggest that 150 million people globally suffer financial catastrophe annually because they pay for health services. Prepayme…

    Information on how health workers spend their time can help programme managers determine whether it is possible to add new services or activities to their schedules and at what cost.
