How Can We Help Women Seek Care?
Insurance to overcome financial barriers to accessing services
Social Insurance: national programs financed by combination payroll and other taxes and premiums, with exemptions for the poorest
Community-Based Insurance: smaller, voluntary, community-based initiatives to reach rural dwellers and informal sector
9Interventions for Impact in Essential Obstetric and Newborn CareAfrica Regional Meeting, 21-25 February 2011
Results and Challenges
Care-seeking more likely Reaching the poorest isn’t easy Coverage of CBI tends to be small and
increases slowly Insurance schemes challenging to
implement and fund They depend on the benefit package

Another Approach for Overcoming Financial and Social/Geo Barriers:
Targeted Subsidies
Vouchers: A purchaser contracts accredited health facilities and vouchers are distributed to patients entitling them to services at contracted facilities. Voucher is either heavily subsidized or free, and provider is reimbursed for the cost of provision, plus a reasonable profit, after delivery is verified.
Conditional Cash (or in-kind) Transfers: transfer cash to ease constraints on household investment in human capital development by reducing out-of-pocket expenditures and opportunity costs; induce health and nutrition behavior changes by conditioning the transfers on the use of preventive health services and attendance to health education talks.

Results and Challenges
High demand for vouchers for delivery-related services; increased revenue for facilities
Managing claims is time consuming and difficult to verify whether services have been delivered
CCTs are powerful motivator

Overcoming Geographic Barriers:
Bring Services to Communities
