For the last four years, SHU has been organising CHF conferences which bring together promoters and members of CHF schemes, policy makers, healthcare providers, civil society actors and other stakeholders in health and social protection sectors. The conferences provide a platform to advocate for the introduction of a universal and fair NHIS that recognizes CHF as a mechanism for enabling the informal sector to enrol for health insurance.
THEME:
Towards Universal health Coverage in Uganda: increasing demand for community health insurance to reach informal sector workers for the proposed National Health Insurance Scheme.
Expected outcomes
-
Participants commit to promote community health insurance and support the introduction of a National Health Insurance Scheme.
-
Approaches to enable the informal sector and indigents in Uganda to enrol into the National Health Insurance Scheme identified.
