Resumen
Descripción
The objective of this paper is to
facilitate common understanding of the health financing
situation in Kosovo, to serve as a basis for reaching a
consensus on the way forward. The issue is motivated by a
basic framework of health financing functions and how they
contribute to UHC goals. Global good practices and examples
from peer countries are presented in the Annex to
providecomparisons with the situation in Kosovo. The paper
describes the status of health financing and its
implications for UHC. A long-term vision for health
financing is presented and recommendations for possible
short and medium term (3-5 years) policy priorities are
provided based on the current situation and desirable
trajectory. The exclusive focus on health financing is
deliberate although otherimportant health system functions,
such as service delivery and governance, will need to move
in parallel for health financing reforms to achieve their
intended outcomes.
