Health financing and COVID-19: Balancing financial incentives for sustaining health services
Tuesday 10 November 2020 from 12:00-13:00 CET
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.
