Health financing and COVID-19: Balancing financial incentives for sustaining health services

The COVID-19 crisis has put huge pressure on financing mechanisms to ensure providers can treat COVID-19 cases while maintaining other services and remaining solvent. Financing mechanisms provide incentives in the health system which can encourage or discourage certain practices or utilization patterns. Paying or compensating providers is therefore at the heart of ensuring the sustainability of the health system and ensuring its resilience. Have financing mechanisms sustained health service delivery? Join us for this webinar to learn more about the experience so far with financing health services through the COVID-19 crisis in different countries and what lessons we might learn.
