Includes bibliographical references (p. 219-239). This study investigated the viability of community health insurance (CHI) as a means of increasing access to health care for rural households in Uganda. This was against the background that health care is a basic need and right and that, despite this, households especially in the rural parts of Uganda are still lacking effective access to health care. The study is informed by different theories of justice in health care delivery, namely, the libertarian, egalitarian and utilitarian theories. It also borrows concepts from Andersen's (1968) behavioural model of health services access and utilization as well as Kutzin's (2001) framework for analysis of health financing arrangements to assess the viability of CHI as a strategy to increase access to health care. 2014-10-08T09:35:57Z 2014-10-08T09:35:57Z 2009 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8243 eng application/pdf Department of Social Development Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
