| Résumé : | Health financing shapes key health system objectives, including access to services, financial protection, equity, efficiency and the ability of health systems to respond to changing population needs. Health financing comprises four main sub-functions: collection of funds, coverage, pooling and allocation, and purchasing and paying. Together, these functions can help promote health systems’ goals: Progressive or proportional public funding through taxes or social contributions supports equity and access ; heavy reliance on OOP payments is regressive and can cause financial hardship or unmet needs ; Coverage policies and purchasing decisions can steer providers towards high-value, patient-centred high-quality care. Benefit package design, resource allocation and purchasing arrangements can improve both technical and allocative efficiency ; Transparency and accountability are prerequisites for a well-functioning financing system: explicit benefit packages, simple and transparent payment mechanisms, and monitoring of contracts and informal payments reduce fraud and abuse, build public trust, and help ensure resources are directed where they are needed most. |
