Abstract:
: Bottlenecks surrounding health financing in Zambia have been attributed to low allocation of funds to health and high donor fund dependency. Innovative financing mechanisms have been proposed to increase fiscal space for health. In 2018, the National Health Insurance was introduced to be complementary to the already existing schemes in order to raise additional revenue. The aim was that all Zambians access quality and affordable health services in accordance with their needs
