Health financing in the context of the right to health 2012, para. 40
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- At a more targeted level, community-based health insurance pools funds collected from members of small communities and includes a variety of financing mechanisms, such as community health funds, mutual health organizations and rural health insurance. Community-based health insurance programmes may operate in complement or supplement to single or multiple payer systems. These programmes generally exist in poor and other vulnerable or marginalized communities and may increase access to health facilities, goods and services for vulnerable or marginalized groups and facilitate the participation of communities in decision-making processes affecting their health.
