Abstract: Many countries are pursuing government-sponsored health insurance as a primary path towards universal health coverage. In these same countries, there are private health microinsurance schemes sponsored by community-based organizations, commercial insurance companies, or other institutions. In Microinsurance Paper #23, the Facility explores the hypothesis that government- sponsored initiatives should collaborate with private actors to accelerate the expansion of health insurance to informal workers and their families.
