Main Article Content
Abstract
Mortality resulting from various illnesses in Uganda remains high despite numerous interventions. This is not that Uganda lacks qualified health workers and health facilities. This situation is attributed to a host of factors including inequity in the health services delivery which this article focuses on, specifically dwelling on the out of pocket payment for health care. Inequity in health service delivery has put Uganda’s health care system on a continuous downward trend. As the government and other stakeholders are
figuring out the possible remedy to salvage the health care system, this article proposes a National Health Insurance scheme for Uganda as an option. The main argument is that the national health insurance scheme will facilitate health care financing and address inequity in the health sector.
