Does health care financing reform increase quality and equity in maternal health services? A study in Ethiopia
Devi Nair, Jimma University, Ethiopia
Financial incentives are relatively new to health care programs and thus peer reviewed articles are not prevalent. Presenters report on the successes and challenges of their own programs. As there is only one of two videos available for this presentation, only Nair’s presentation on Ethiopia is available. Nair described the difficulties of implementing health care financing reform, especially in those areas which are not close to the capital. As the reform only spends 7% of health expenditures on maternal and newborn care, she found great gaps in services available, in addition to high out of pocket expenditures.
