Planning and Implementing Health Insurance Programmes in India
An Operational Guide
- English
Summary (French)
This comprehensive Operational Guide prepared by the Institute of Public Health (IPH) Bangalore is an attempt to provide a ″How To″ approach for planning and implementing Health Insurance programmes in India. Health insurance is gaining importance in India as it is one of the alternatives for financing healthcare. At the state level, many governments have initiated health insurance programmes. However, the capacity to design, implement and monitor a health insurance programme is currently limited in India. In this context, the WHO India office commends the Institute of Public Health Banglore for bringing out this operational manual. It is aimed to assist officials in various sectors, in public and private, in designing and implementing related programmes. This manual has explored the broad spectrum of health insurance types, from social health insurance to private health insurance.
