PY - 2008 DA - 2008/10/30 TI - Medicines coverage and community-based health insurance in low-income countries JO - Health Research Policy and Systems SP - 11 VL - 6 IS - 1 AB - The 2004 International Conference on Improving Use of Medicines recommended that emerging and expanding health insurances in low-income countries focus on improving access to and use of medicines. In recent years, Community-based Health Insurance (CHI) schemes have multiplied, with mounting evidence of their positive effects on financial protection and resource mobilization for healthcare in poor settings. Using literature review and qualitative interviews, this paper investigates whether and how CHI expands access to medicines in low-income countries.
