3 Welcome State-Supported Health Insurance: Research & Results Day Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria 21 July 2015 We are very pleased to welcome you to the Kwara State Health Insurance: Research & Results Day. The aim of the event is to enable experts from the private sector, academia, government, non-governmental organisations and donors as well as local communities to discuss the research and lessons learned from the Kwara State health insurance program and their implications for capacity building and the delivery of affordable and quality health care for lowincome people in Nigeria. Since 2007, Kwara State, Hygeia Community Health Care, Health Insurance Fund and PharmAccess have been working to improve access to quality primary health care. Both public and private primary health centers and hospitals are involved in the provision of health care. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has described this partnership as groundbreaking and innovative. An impact evaluation carried out by University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Amsterdam Institute of Global Health and Development, Amsterdam Institute of International Development and Brookings Institution (USA) shows a reduction in healthcare costs and an improvement in health outcomes for participants of the health insurance program. More than 50 publications and peer-reviewed papers have been published in internationally renowned journals. Many of these researchers and implementation partners are present at this conference. Today we are proud to present the report The Impact of Access to Quality Healthcare in Africa: Research findings on Health Insurance Fund supported programs. This compendium report is a reflection of the continuous interaction between project implementation, evidence-based analyses, subsequent project improvements and impact assessment. We look forward to a fruitful and pleasant interaction. Kind regards, Prof. T.M. Akande University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital Dr. Peju Adenusi Hygeia Community Health Care Alhaji Abdulrasaq Abdulsalam Kwara State Health Insurance Scheme Dr. Ayodeji Ajiboye PharmAccess-Nigeria 3
4 Introduction A closer look at the Kwara State health insurance program Since 2007, Kwara State Government, Hygeia Community Health Care, Health Insurance Fund and PharmAccess, with the support of the Dutch Government have been implementing a state health insurance program to provide access to affordable and quality health care for people in rural Kwara. The services include primary health care, maternal and child health care and treatment for chronic diseases, malaria, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS opportunistic infections. Currently, over 110,000 people are enrolled in the program. The Kwara State health insurance program has an integrated approach of addressing the demand for and supply of health care. By introducing standards, the program has been able to reduce risk and increase trust in the health system, which leads to an upward spiral of higher quality health care, more people willing to pre-pay for health insurance and steady revenues for healthcare providers. With increased revenues, leveraged by State and donor funding, local capacity and infrastructure for healthcare is being developed. The Kwara State health insurance program is a public-private partnership, which the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has described as ground-breaking and innovative. Both public and private primary healthcare centers and hospitals are involved in the provision of health care. Currently, the Kwara State government pays about 70% of the health insurance premium subsidy. Hygeia Community Health Care administers the health insurance program. Investments have been made in administrative infrastructure to ensure transparency, accountability, efficient business practices and quality control in the health system. Another unique element of the Kwara State health insurance program is the research component. Rigorous bio-medical and socio-economic impact evaluations are conducted by the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Amsterdam Institute of Global Health and Development and Amsterdam Institute of International Development to continuously measure the impact of the program and stimulate effective implementation. The impact evaluation has shown that there is increased healthcare utilization, reduced out-of-pocket payments and improved health outcomes among participants of the health insurance program. Also, research is conducted into the costeffectiveness of maternal health care and the prevention of cardiovascular diseases as well as households financial diaries to understand how liquidity or solvability constraints affect people s ability to enroll in health insurance or renew their membership. The research partnership has resulted in significant research capacity building. More than 50 publications and peer-reviewed papers have been published in internationally renowned journals. Objective The Kwara State health insurance program has evolved into a model recognized by the Government of Nigeria as per the resolution of the National Council of Health memo in March The Kwara program fulfills the aspirations of Nigeria to achieve universal health coverage and the need for States to adopt and implement the state-supported health insurance schemes. The State-Supported Health Insurance Research and Results Day provides an opportunity for experts from the private sector, academia, government, non-government organizations and donors as well as local communities to discuss the research and lessons learned of the Kwara State health insurance program and their implications for capacity building and the delivery of affordable and quality health care in Nigeria. 4
