Health Financing *


<http://www.who.int/gho/health_financing/en/index.html>

Since the Millennium Declaration was signed in 2000, resources remain
insufficient in most low-income countries to ensure that all people access
to even a very basic set of health services. When people use health
services, around 150 million each year suffer severe financial hardship
because they have to pay out of their own pockets at the time they receive
care, and 100 million are pushed into poverty as a result. The World Health
Report 2010 says that all countries could take actions in at least one of
the following areas to move more closely towards universal coverage - raise
additional funds for health; reduce financial barriers and increase
financial risk protection through prepayment and pooling; use the available
funds more equitably and efficiently.
