Having experienced this duality in healthcare firsthand - as many South Africans could attest to - solutions like this will be more than welcome. As we continue to make technological advancements, essential services such as healthcare [and education] should not be left behind. Interestingly, another article I read recently mentions the increasing pressure on the ISP sector to offer zero-rated data access to essential healthcare services, especially via mobile devices as - according to ICASA - more than 90% of the population owns a mobile device. That's a staggering 57.68 Million people! With the right mindset and proper legislation in place, we could make South Africa's healthcare infrastructure akin to that of its former world-renowned status. #NHI #DigitalHealth

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number three emphasizes ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for everyone. In line with this goal, the Government of Kenya is set to launch a new Social Health Insurance scheme, replacing the current National Health Insurance Fund, to advance Universal Health Coverage. The Kenyan Government's initiative includes a comprehensive digitization effort to enhance healthcare accessibility and quality for its citizens. Digital healthcare leverages innovative technologies to streamline healthcare services, improve effectiveness, and personalize patient care.

Health care is a broad topic but there is one constant across the industry: we are all striving to improve outcomes and experiences for patients. I recently had the privilege of speaking at two different conferences where, while the topics and audiences varied, both aimed to get at the heart of how to serve health insurance members better and what the future holds. At the Sagility Healthcare Summit, I joined a panel to discuss adopting innovative strategies to improve patient outcomes. With new trends rapidly emerging in health care, leveraging new technologies is vital to delivering better care and enhancing member experience. During the recent AMCP (Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy) Conference, I joined other managed care executives to discuss leading our organizations and the future of managed care pharmacy. I am inspired by the potential new technologies have to make a difference in people’s lives. By embracing innovation, we can create member-centric care that empowers and supports all members.

LMICs are increasingly committing to ensuring Universal Health Coverage and often opt for health insurance systems to achieve this, including contributory schemes. openIMIS is implemented in such contexts to manage health financing and social protection programs which robustness relies heavily on data management. Four use cases have been identified to promote WHO FIC with the use of openIMIS as well as to improve openIMIS functionalities See Poster n°5 here: https://lnkd.in/eiyZMhAy Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute provides support to national and local governments, as well as private and non-governmental organisations, in setting up health financing schemes. This includes feasibility studies, assessments, research, implementation projects and policy advice #UHC #WHO #WHOFIC #ICF #Opensource Patrick D.

Too early to draw conclusions and this study is somewhat limited in scope of services and geography, but nonetheless a possible indicator on the impact of price transparency requirements in place since 2021. . .or maybe just market dynamics. ▪A review of more than 390,000 rates health systems negotiated with insurers for 37 common services in the 10 biggest U.S. metro areas shows some lowering prices with top-tier rates (above the 75th percentile) declining by 6.3% annually. Additional context: Although hospitals have been required to post their insurer-negotiated rates for common health services online since 2021, compliance with the requirements has been slow. Private health insurance on average pays hospital 2.5x Medicare according to a recent RAND report. #pricetransparency #competition

The movement towards Universal Health Coverage under the National Health Insurance (NHI) scheme highlights the pressing need to bridge existing gaps and dismantle silos between the private and public health sectors. Currently, the system is dualistic and fragmented. Effective integration of these two segments is crucial for achieving equitable and universal access to healthcare services. Without a doubt, this requires fostering collaborative practices, aligning healthcare standards, and implementing interoperable health information systems. I believe by working together, South Africa can ensure a smoother transition towards the NHI, ultimately improving outcomes across all demographics and making comprehensive healthcare a reality for everyone. Since this is a mammoth task, let's take one step at a time.
