AbstrakPekerja seks perempuan (PSP) merupakan kelompok yang termarginalkan secara sosial dan memiliki kerentanan yang tinggi terhadap masalah kesehatan. Upaya perluasan Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN) pada PSP masih terbatas sehingga penting dilakukan untuk mendukung pencapaian universal health coverage. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh gambaran mengenai akses JKN pada PSP di Denpasar. Penelitian ini merupakan studi kualitatif. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam terhadap 15 orang PSP dan empat orang mucikari di Denpasar pada Agustus hingga Oktober 2014. Hasil wawancara diolah dengan analisis tematik. Kerangka analisis yang digunakan adalah The Health Access Livelihood Framework. Kepemilikan JKN pada PSP di Denpasar masih rendah, meskipun sebagian PSP memiliki kemauan untuk menjadi peserta JKN dan memiliki kemampuan membayar iuran JKN. Faktor penghambat akses JKN pada PSP adalah rendahnya pengetahuan mengenai prosedur pendaftaran dan portabilitas JKN, kekhawatiran keberlanjutan pembayaran iuran, persepsi buruk mengenai kualitas layanan yang akan diterima jika menggunakan JKN, ketidaklengkapan administrasi kependudukan serta kebijakan yang mengharuskan peserta bukan penerima bantuan iuran (Non-PBI) Mandiri untuk mendaftarkan seluruh anggota keluarga. Akses JKN pada PSP terhambat oleh faktor-faktor individual, layanan dan kebijakan yang perlu diatasi untuk meningkatkan cakupan JKN pada PSP. AbstractFemale sex workers (FSW) is marginalized social group having a high vulnerability of health problems. Effort to expand national health insurance on FSW is still limited, so it is necessarily performed in order to support the achievement of universal health coverage. This study aimed to obtain the depiction of the insurance access among FSW in Denpasar. This study was qualitative. Data was collected through in-depth interview of 15 FSW and four pimps in Denpasar from August to October 2014. The interview result was analyzed using thematic analysis. The analysis framework used was The Health Access Livelihood Framework. The insurance ownership among FSW in Denpasar was low, even though some FSW were willing to be participants and afford to pay the premium. Factors inhibiting the insurance access were the lack of knowledge regarding registration procedures and portability, fear of premium payment sustainability, negative perceptions of quality of services that would be received if using the insurance, incomplete population administration and policy requiring independent non-premium support receiver participants to register all of their family members. The insurance access among FSW was hindered by individual, service and policy factors that need to be conquered to increase the insurance coverage among FSW.

Background: This study aimed to provide tailored transferrable lessons for expanding population coverage through a descriptive lens by reviewing the population coverage policies, reforms and strategies in selected nations. Methods: In this comparative short communication, 14 countries with different status of population coverage and political economy that had successful experiences with coverage expansion were selected and categorized in four groups to study their approaches to reach Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Results: Although each country needs to tailor its policies and reforms based on its own contextual factors, the legal right of citizens to social security and health protection are enshrined in most countries' Constitution. Some countries adapted political and economic reforms to evolve their Social Health Insurance schemes. National laws to push governments to adapt UHC as a national strategy for ensuring that every resident is enrolled in health insurance schemes are key policies to reach UHC. Conclusion: A series of reforms are required to provide total population coverage through various approaches. To create an effective insurance coverage, physical merger of all insurance funds is not necessarily required. Further, the share of GDP for health is not a definite indicator to reach UHC. Finally, strong political commitment and citizens’ participation are the key issues in reaching UHC, while considering the poorest, remote and neglected population really matters.

Abstract Background: Universal health coverage is one of the Sustainable Development Goal targets known to improve population health and reduce financial burden. There is little qualitative data on access to and quality of primary healthcare in West and East Africa. We elicited in-depth viewpoints of healthcare users and providers, and other stakeholders regarding access to and quality of healthcare.Methods: A qualitative case study was conducted in four communities in Nigeria, and one community each in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania in 2018. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 155 participants for 24 focus group discussions, 24 in-depth interviews, and 12 key informant interviews. The conceptual framework in this study combined elements of the Health Belief Model, Health Care Utilisation Model, four ‘As’ of access to care, and pathway model to better understand health-seeking behaviours of the study participants. The data were analysed with MAXQDA 2018 qualitative software to identify three themes identified a priori and one emerging theme.Results: Access to primary healthcare in the seven communities was limited. Quality of care was perceived to be unacceptable in public facilities whereas cost of care was unaffordable in private facilities. Patients and health providers and stakeholders highlighted shortage of equipment, frequent drug stock-outs and long waiting times as major issues, but had varying opinions on satisfaction with care. Use of herbal medicines and other traditional treatments delayed or deterred seeking modern healthcare in Nigerian sites. Conclusions: There was a substantial gap in primary healthcare coverage and quality in the selected communities in rural and urban East and West Africa. Alternative models of healthcare delivery should be used to fill this gap and facilitate achieving universal health coverage.

Universal health coverage (UHC) has been identified as a priority for the global health agenda. In 2009, the Chinese government launched a new round of healthcare reform towards UHC, aiming to provide universal coverage of basic healthcare by the end of 2020. We conducted a secondary data analysis and combined it with a literature review, analysing the overview of UHC in China with regard to financial protection, coverage of health services and the reported coverage of the WHO and the World Bank UHC indicators. The results include the following: out-of-pocket expenditures as a percentage of current health expenditures in China have dropped dramatically from 60.13% in 2000 to 35.91% in 2016; the health insurance coverage of the total population jumped from 22.1% in 2003 to 95.1% in 2013; the average life expectancy increased from 72.0 to 76.4, maternal mortality dropped from 59 to 29 per 100 000 live births, the under-5 mortality rate dropped from 36.8 to 9.3 per 1000 live births, and neonatal mortality dropped from 21.4 to 4.7 per 1000 live births between 2000 and 2017; and so on. Our findings show that while China appears to be well on the path to UHC, there are identifiable gaps in service quality and a requirement for ongoing strengthening of financial protections. Some of the key challenges remain to be faced, such as the fragmented and inequitable health delivery system, and the increasing demand for high-quality and value-based service delivery. Given that China has committed to achieving UHC and ‘Healthy China 2030’, the evidence from this study can be suggestive of furthering on in the UHC journey and taking the policy steps necessary to secure change.

Abstract Background Equity, efficiency, sustainability, acceptability to clients and providers, and quality are the cornerstones of universal health coverage (UHC). No country has a single way to achieve efficient UHC. In this study, we documented the Iranian health insurance reforms, focusing on how and why certain policies were introduced and implemented, and which challenges remain to keep a sustainable UHC. Methods This retrospective policy analysis used three sources of data: a comprehensive and chronological scoping review of literature, interviews with Iran health insurance policy actors and stakeholders, and a review of published and unpublished official documents and local media. All data were analysed using thematic content analysis. Results Health insurance reforms, especially health transformation plan (HTP) in 2014, helped to progress towards UHC and health equity by expanding population coverage, a benefits package, and enhancing financial protection. However, several challenges can jeopardize sustaining this progress. There is a lack of suitable mechanisms to collect contributions from those without a regular income. The compulsory health insurance coverage law is not implemented in full. A substantial gap between private and public medical tariffs leads to high out-of-pocket health expenditure. Moreover, controlling the total health care expenditures is not the main priority to make keeping UHC more sustainable. Conclusion To achieve UHC in Iran, the Ministry of Health and Medical Education and health insurance schemes should devise and follow the policies to control health care expenditures. Working mechanisms should be implemented to extend free health insurance coverage for those in need. More studies are needed to evaluate the impact of health insurance reforms in terms of health equity, sustainability, coverage, and access.

ABSTRACT  Since 2014, Indonesia has been implementing universal health coverage to increase health insurance coverage. However, health insurance utilization by the community for maternal health is still low. This research aimed to determine factors related to the use of health insurance for antenatal care and delivery services among pregnant and childbirth women. The research conducted in 7 districts/cities, namely Kota Bandar Lampung, Kota Palembang, Kabupaten Lebak, Kabupaten Karawang, Kota Semarang, Kota Surabaya, dan Kota Makasar. A total of 517 respondents has been interviewed. The results showed that most respondents aged 21-34 years (68.5%), unemployed (74.7%) and graduated from high school or higher (58.4%). Around 11% of the respondent had health insurance. 73.0% of respondents who had health insurance used it for antenatal care and 88.3% used it for delivery. Multivariate analysis shows that the level of income is related to the use of health insurance for antenatal care and delivery, whereas mothers who have income level higher than Rp 2,000,000 had lower odds to utilize health insurance for antenatal care (OR=0,56; 95%CI:0,35 - 0,91) and delivery (OR=0,52; 95%CI:0,27 - 1,02). Therefore, there is a need for broader socialization of health insurance utilization for antenatal and delivery, especially for couples at reproductive age. Keywords: Health insurance, health services, maternal health   ABSTRAK Pada tahun 2014, Indonesia mulai melaksanakan Universal Health Coverage untuk meningkatkan cakupan jaminan kesehatan. Namun, pemanfaatan jaminan kesehatan oleh masyarakat untuk kesehatan ibu masih rendah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor yang berhubungan dengan pemanfaatan jaminan kesehatan untuk pemeriksaan kehamilan dan pelayanan persalinan pada ibu hamil dan bersalin. Penelitian dilaksanakan di 7 (tujuh) kabupaten/kota, yaitu Kota Bandar Lampung, Kota Palembang, Kabupaten Lebak, Kabupaten Karawang, Kota Semarang, Kota Surabaya, dan Kota Makasar. Sebesar 517 responden yang berhasil diwawancarai. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar responden berumur 21 – 34 tahun (68,5%), tidak bekerja (74,7%) dan berpendidikan tamat SMA+ (58,4%). Sekitar 11,0% responden tidak memiliki jaminan kesehatan. Dari responden yang memiliki jaminan kesehatan, hanya 73,0% di antaranya yang memanfaatkan untuk pemeriksaan kehamilan dan 88,3% memanfaatkan untuk persalinan. Analisis multivariat menunjukkan bahwa tingkat pendapatan berhubungan dengan pemanfaatan jaminan kesehatan untuk pemeriksaan kehamilan, dan persalinan, dimana ibu yang memiliki tingkat pendapatan ≥Rp 2.000.000,- memiliki kemungkinan lebih rendah untuk memanfaatkan jaminan kesehatan untuk pemeriksaan kehamilan (OR=0,56; 95%CI:0,35 - 0,91) maupun persalinan (OR=0,52; 95%CI:0,27 - 1,02). Oleh sebab itu, perlu sosialisasi lebih luas agar memanfaatkan jaminan kesehatan untuk pemeriksaan kehamilan dan persalinan, terutama pada Pasangan Usia Subur (PUS).

Abstract Background: The movement for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is gaining momentum. Health insurance is emerging as one of the favoured means to finance healthcare. The union government of India also started a health insurance scheme in 2018 in the spirit to leap towards UHC. Therefore, this study was carried out with the following objectives. To understand the coverage, distribution, and predictors of health insurance coverage in India. To examine the role of Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) towards the goal of UHC in India. Methods: We analyzed unit-level data from the fourth round of National Family Health Survey (NFHS-4) to understand the coverage, distribution and predictors of health insurance. We categorized the health insurance schemes into four major categories based on standard categorization . The descriptive and bivariate analysis was conducted to understand the coverage and distribution and logit regression analysis was carried out to understand the predictors. Results: The overall health insurance coverage in India was around 25% out of which 22% is mandatory health insurance. Less than 2% of households reported having any voluntary health insurance. Household wealth and education of the head of households were found to be directly proportional to health insurance coverage. Overall, there was very wide inter-state and inter-class variation in health insurance coverage, which reflect a major void in the existing programmes. Conclusions: To achieve UHC in India, a definite policy direction is needed to protect those groups of citizens, who either not covered or are only partially covered from health insurance scheme. Either the PM-JAY scheme should be expanded for the larger population or an alternative health financing model is to be explored to expand the population coverage. Key-words: Health Insurance, Universal Health Coverage, India, Ayushman Bharat, Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, National Family Health Survey.
