CHAI Ethiopia is currently carrying out a wide range of programs to support the Ministry of Health in improving access to and increasing the quality of health services. As one of CHAI's largest field offices with more than 150 staff, the Ethiopia office operates programs across maternal, newborn and child health; HIV/AIDS; Cancer; nutrition; vaccines; child survival; laboratory services; health workforce; and health financing. The health financing program aims to transform how the health system is financed to substantially and sustainably increase access to services, beginning with essential services for those most in need.
Program Description:
The Government of Ethiopia is rolling out health insurance with the goal of reaching most of its population of 100 million people by 2020. The government is scaling up community-based health insurance for the informal sector, rolling out social health insurance for the formal sector, and harmonizing these two schemes under a national insurance scheme. This is one of the most ambitious health financing reforms on the continent, and if implemented well, has the potential to transform the health system and move the country closer to its goal of universal health coverage (UHC) by 2030.
To successfully roll out this ambitious reform, the leadership of the Ethiopian Health Insurance Agency will need to overcome technical, operational and management challenges. CHAI has been supporting the Government of Ethiopia in Health Financing over the last few years and has been asked by senior leadership to provide more comprehensive support to all of these areas in order to ensure this reform has the intended outcomes in increasing access to quality care for all in need. This also includes supporting the EHIA in testing innovations across pilot community based health insurance schemes, to ensure health insurance can be sustainably brought to scale. Ethiopia will be a flagship program for CHAI's work in health insurance, shaping our engagement in other countries.
