In order to
bring about universal coverage in Cambodia, all people, including the poor
and including the people suffering from chronic Non Communicable Diseases
should have access to affordable health insurance and have access to an
affordable continuum-of-care. This is currently not yet the case.
There is no
documented implementation experience in Cambodia on the linking of Community
Based Health Insurance (CBHI), the use of Health Equity Fund (HEF) or
Subsidy and empowered communities of chronic patients led by “Peer Educator
networks” to inform the design of efficient and effective social health
protection.
The linking
requires different agencies with their own specializations to work together
in one specific area towards a common goal during a period of time so the
effects of their implementation effort can be studied. This is often not
difficult to organize because agencies have their own priorities and
different donors to be accountable to.
