Improving Financial Protection and Quality of Care (Contribution to a World Bank Hybrid Trust Fund)
Kosovo has initiated a wide-ranging health sector reform, a cornerstone of which is the introduction of the mandatory health insurance. Given the complexity of the reforms, technical support will be crucial in assisting an effective implementation. Moreover, a better informed targeting of public subsidies will protect poor people from either foregoing health care or being impoverished due to out of pocket payments for health care in case of ill health.

Kosovo has some of the worst health outcomes in Europe. The reforms initiated by the Ministry of Health (MoH) intend to address shortcomings in the financing and management of health services. The introduction of the mandatory health insurance has the potential to raise more revenues, while the establishment of purchasing contracts with institutions presents an opportunity to improve both the quality of care and the efficiency with which the limited resources are used. |
