Abstract:
Despite the encouraging results achieved by community-based health insurance in Ethiopia, the program faces significant challenges. Among these challenges is the current
practice where premium contributions to Community Based Health Insurance are either
a flat rate or based solely on family size, rather than considering households’ socioeconomic status The overall aim of this study was to assess households’ willingness
to join and pay for Community Based Health Insurance in reference to socio-economic
status to design sliding scale-based Community Based Health Insurance contributions
in Ethiopia.
