| Summary: | This note reviews the role of domestic
financing sources other than general government budget
allocations in Tanzania’s health financing architecture.
These include funds raised from user fees or cost sharing,
reimbursements from the national health insurance fund
(NHIF), funds made available from the improved community
health fund (iCHF), insurance for workers in the urban
informal sector (TIKA), and other private insurance. In
Tanzania, these are referred to as complimentary financing mechanisms. |
