Health Financing

Health financing refers to the methods and systems by which money is raised, allocated, and used to pay for healthcare services. It includes funding sources like taxes, insurance premiums, and out-of-pocket expenses. Effective health financing ensures that individuals can access necessary medical care without facing financial hardship. It involves balancing costs, improving healthcare quality, and managing resources to promote overall population health. Proper health financing policies can lead to better health outcomes, increase access to care, and reduce inequalities in health services. Proper management is crucial for sustainable and efficient healthcare systems.
