Abstract

Financial protection in cases of illness is indispensable in preventing catastrophic health expenditures. In low- and middle-income countries, Community-based Health Insurance (CHI) constitutes an innovative tool for providing universal financial protection for rural populations. A feasibility study on CHI was carried out in the Oyam district, Uganda, in order to determine whether the necessary conditions exist for the establishment of a successful scheme. The research adopted a mixed-methods approach and the evidence from the data analysis validated all the feasibility conditions. Overall, this system has the potential to improve access to health care of the local population.
