Somanathan, Aparnaa2013-03-262013-03-262010-06https://hdl.handle.net/10986/12935The objective of this Policy Note is to provide an assessment of available options for financing health care in the Solomon Islands. In doing so, the analysis will factor in the country-specific economic, social and political factors, which will ultimately influence the performance of the health financing mechanisms. The Note was motivated by the Solomon Islands Government s (SIG) interest in knowing whether financing options other than general revenue financing would be feasible and sustainable in the context of the Solomon Islands. In particular, SIG wished to consider whether Social Health Insurance presents a better alternative to General Revenue financing. The Note therefore seeks to provide the evidence and information needed to guide the Solomon Islands Government (SIG) in making decisions about different health financing options.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO HEALTH CAREACCESS TO SERVICESACUTE CAREADMINISTRATIVE COSTSADVERSE SELECTIONADVERSE SELECTION EFFECTSALLOCATION OF RESOURCESANTENATAL CAREBEDSBUDGETARY PRESSURESCAPACITY BUILDINGCATASTROPHIC HEALTH SPENDINGCHILD HEALTHCOMMUNITY HEALTHCONTRIBUTION RATECONTRIBUTION RATESCROWDINGDELIVERIES IN HEALTH FACILITIESDELIVERY OF HEALTH CAREDELIVERY OF HEALTH SERVICESDEMOGRAPHIC TRENDSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVESDISEASE CONTROLDISEASESDOCTORSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC STATUSEMPLOYMENTENROLLEESENTITLEMENTENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHEQUITABLE ACCESSEXPENDITURESFAMILY HEALTHFINANCE OF HEALTH CAREFINANCIAL BARRIERSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL MARKETSFINANCIAL PROTECTIONFINANCIAL RISKFINANCIAL RISK PROTECTIONFINANCING HEALTH CAREFINANCING SUSTAINABILITYFISCAL POLICYGLOBAL ACTIONHEALTH ADMINISTRATIONHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE COSTSHEALTH CARE FINANCINGHEALTH CARE NEEDSHEALTH CARE USEHEALTH CENTRESHEALTH ECONOMICSHEALTH EXPENDITUREHEALTH EXPENDITURE PER CAPITAHEALTH EXPENDITURESHEALTH EXPENDITURES PER CAPITAHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH FINANCINGHEALTH FINANCING MECHANISMHEALTH FINANCING REFORMHEALTH FINANCING SCHEMEHEALTH INDICATORSHEALTH INFORMATIONHEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEMHEALTH INFRASTRUCTUREHEALTH INPUTS PER CAPITAHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH INSURANCE CONTRIBUTIONSHEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGEHEALTH INSURANCE MARKETHEALTH INSURANCE PLANSHEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAMHEALTH INSURANCE SCHEMEHEALTH MAINTENANCEHEALTH NEEDSHEALTH ORGANIZATIONHEALTH ORGANIZATIONSHEALTH OUTCOME INDICATORSHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH POLICYHEALTH PROMOTIONHEALTH RESEARCHHEALTH RISKSHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICEHEALTH SERVICE DELIVERYHEALTH SERVICE USEHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH SHAREHEALTH SYSTEMHEALTH SYSTEM GOALSHEALTH SYSTEM STRENGTHENINGHOSPITAL INPATIENTHOSPITALISATIONHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHRILLNESSIMMUNIZATIONINCOMEINCOME COUNTRIESINCOME GROWTHINEQUITIESINEQUITIES IN HEALTH CAREINFANTINFANT MORTALITYINFANT MORTALITY RATEINFANT MORTALITY RATESINFORMAL SECTORINFORMAL SECTOR WORKERSINFORMATION SYSTEMSINPATIENT CAREINSURANCE ARRANGEMENTSINSURANCE CONTRIBUTIONSINSURANCE COVERAGEINSURANCE MARKETINSURANCE PLANSINSURANCE SYSTEMINTEGRATIONINTERNATIONAL COMPARISONSINTERVENTIONLABORATORY SERVICESLABOUR FORCELABOUR MARKETLABOUR MARKETSLAWSLIVE BIRTHSLOW INCOMEMALARIAMEDICAL CAREMEDICAL INSURANCEMEDICAL RECORDSMEDICAL SERVICESMEDICAL SUPPLIESMIDWIVESMINISTRY OF HEALTHMORBIDITYMORTALITYNATIONAL HEALTHNATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCENATIONAL PRIORITIESNATIONALSNURSENURSESNUTRITIONOUTPATIENT CAREPAYMENTS FOR HEALTH CAREPEACEPHYSICIANPOLITICAL INSTABILITYPOLITICAL SUPPORTPOPULAR SUPPORTPOPULATION GROWTHPREGNANCYPREPAYMENT MECHANISMSPRIMARY CAREPRIMARY HEALTH CAREPRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCEPRIVATE HEALTH SERVICESPRIVATE INSURANCEPRIVATE SECTORPROBLEMS OF POPULATIONPROGRESSPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC HEALTH EXPENDITURESPUBLIC HEALTH SPENDINGPUBLIC HOSPITALPUBLIC SCHEMESPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SPENDINGQUALITY OF HEALTHRADIOLOGYREFERRAL SERVICESREPATRIATIONRESOURCE FLOWSRESOURCE REQUIREMENTSRESPECTRISK SHARINGRURAL AREASSECTORAL PRIORITIESSERVICE PROVIDERSSERVICE PROVISIONSKILLED BIRTH ATTENDANCESKILLED PERSONNELSOCIAL HEALTH INSURANCESOCIAL HEALTH INSURANCE SCHEMESSOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL SECTORSSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL SECURITY SCHEMESSOCIAL UNRESTSOCIOECONOMIC DIFFERENCESTECHNICAL CAPACITYTRADITIONAL HEALERSUNIONSURBAN AREASUSER FEESVISITSVULNERABLE GROUPSWORKERSWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONWorld Bank10.1596/12935
