Do free healthcare policies play a role in expanding national health insurance enrollment among informal sector workers? The case of the Afya Care pilot program in Kenya
Several Sub-Saharan African countries have transitioned from fiscally unsustainable free healthcare policies to national health insurance schemes. These national schemes often expect informal sector workers to contribute directly to the scheme. Although enrollment in the national scheme is critical to achieving universal health coverage, informal sector workers’ inclusion remains challenging. In this paper, using the case of the Afya-Care free he…
Every drop matters
Climate change is projected to induce extreme and irregular rainfall patterns in the West African Sahel region, affecting household food security and income. Children are among the worst affected population groups. Previous studies focusing on rainfall irregularities in specified periods have revealed how child health and nutritional status are impacted, especially in rural settings. However, the aggregated effect of rainfall over a lifetime on c…
How equitable is health spending on curative services and institutional delivery in Malawi? Evidence from a quasi-longitudinal benefit incidence analysis
Through its free healthcare policy, Malawi has reduced socioeconomic inequality in health spending over time, but some challenges still need to be addressed to achieve a truly egalitarian health system. Our findings indicate a need to increase public funding for the health sector to ensure access to care and financial protection

Our findings suggest that the implementation of UHC policies in Zambia led to a reduction in socioeconomic inequality in health spending, particularly at health centres and for curative care. Further action is needed to address existing barriers for the poor to benefit from health spending on curative services and at higher levels of care

Still, no evidence exists on how the distributional incidence of health spending has changed in relation to their implementation. Our study assesses changes in the distributional incidence of public and overall health spending in Burkina …
