Private Health Insurance for the Poor in Developing Countries?

Denis Drechsler and Johannes Jütting

Innovative financing mechanisms, such as private health insurance, offer benefits and risks. Their implementation requires caution on the part of policy makers who need to consider adequate regulation in order to optimise health outcomes.
