The process of funding, allocating, organizing, and managing health resources.

A set of services considered essential for basic healthcare, aimed at providing equitable access to care.

Diverse methods for raising funds to support healthcare, including taxes, insurance premiums, and private contributions.

Practices that streamline how health services are provided, making them more efficient and cost-effective.

Inviting private companies and NGOs to participate in healthcare delivery, creating a more diverse and robust system.

A type of financing where taxes on specific products are designated for a particular purpose, such as health services. It can occur at the national or local level.

Financing health care through a mandatory system of payments by employed workers, typically a percentage of their wages, and a similar tax on their employers. This system can also include those outside formal employment by considering income or wealth beyond wages.

The likelihood of becoming ill, the conditions required to receive benefits, and the value of those benefits are all factors that contribute to calculating total financial contributions to social insurance schemes.

In social insurance, individuals contribute to a system based on their income, not on their individual health risks or anticipated claims. This means people with lower incomes pay less, even though they might have higher healthcare needs.

The real value of interest earned on loans can be negatively affected by high inflation, making it harder to use deficit financing, which involves borrowing money to cover expenses, to support healthcare systems.
