Towards Affordable Universal Access to Health Care Through Social Health Protection

Abstract

The global population covered by some kind of health welfare measure is miniscule. The need to expand coverage can be addressed by a pragmatic strategy rationalizing the use of health financing mechanisms. This allows the sharing of the burden of health care among the whole population. It might turn out to be a milestone for achieving the Millenium Development Goals.
