  4. Health System Reform started 1993 • Main objective:“to improve and extend primary health care through the implementation of a district based health system.” (The MoH’sMaster Plan, 1994-1996). • The MoH implements the reform to meet the peoples essential health needs by: • Improving the population’s confidence in public health services. • Clarifying and reinforcing the role of hospitals and health centers. • Establishing each facility’s catchment area to ensure coverage of the population. • Rationalizing the allocation and use of resources. • The reform implies entails important transformations, both organizational and financial.

  16. A3.Health System Performance IMPACT

  17. Equitable pro-poor health outcome: infant and child mortality Source: CDHS 2010

  18. A3. Challenges 1. From epidemiological view point: Despite significant reduction, maternal and child mortality in Cambodia remain high if compared with that of the countries in Western Pacific Region (of WHO). HIV, TB and Malaria continue to pose a major public health problem. Prevention, control, treatment and care of these diseasesrequire sophisticated clinical expertise and considerable financial resource. The most important areas that deserve attention are non-communicable and chronic diseases and traffic accidents (deaths and injuries).

  19. 2. From health system view point Key policy decision: vision needed for sustaining the current “rationalized health system” (alignment with administrative boundary Vs. economy of scale). Health infrastructure development requires considerable capital investment (physical infrastructure, medical technology, ICT, clinical expertise...) Adequate staffing and skills, appropriate remuneration and right incentive with improved accountability and performance monitoring (potential impact on strengthening of public health system, effectiveness of health service delivery, and health financing strategy). licensing, accreditation, quality control mechanisms-well regulated private sector participation linked to a national accreditation and quality improvement system. A3. Challenges

  20. 3. From health system financing view point • Adequate funds for scaling up HEFs to cover all peoples living under the poverty line (currently 77% of those are protected) • Cover the entire country with Health Equity Funds (HEF) and integrated Social Health Protection mechanism by rationalizing, harmonizing and transforming the existing financing schemes. • Harmonize common components such as benefit packages, prices, provider payment mechanisms etc. • Institutionalize oversight and funding of HEF & CBHI and safety-nets A3. Challenges

  21. Financial risk protection Equitable and fair funding Efficiency of service delivery Quality services Transparency FINANCING OPTIONS 1. Medium term Along policy objectives and Financing functions 2. Long term Considering: UC of Social health Protection Policy Objectives Financing functions Considering: Broader context POLICY OBJECTIVES Resource mobilization Pooling: who will manage them Purchasing: buy services (supply or demand) Stewardship: regulation and monitoring FINANCING FUNCTIONS FINANCING INRELATION TO A4.Future Outlook SOUND HEALTH FINANCING POLICY IN THE CONTEXT OF PUBLIC FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT REFORM AND DnD: On-going process

  23. 4 “ OR/AND” Policy Questions: HARD CHOICES AND TOUGH DECISION • Scaling up access for equitable coverage of health services at basic level OR/AND continued piloting for innovation and improvement? • Reliable basic level of quality services for all people OR/AND excellence in selected health priorities? • Nationwide coverage of safety net for the poorest people OR/AND improved protection for near poor in selected areas? • Most relevant models for reaching Universal Coverage OR/AND models most easily funded by development assistance ? A5. Key Messages

  24. Cambodian health system was re-organized in the post-conflict environment and scarce-resource setting. The system has been changed from administrative based to population based health system organization (population size and accessibility). New and interesting initiatives have been implemented in health systems and health care delivery over the past decade –both supply and demand side financing- with, somehow and some what, systematic monitoring and evaluation. Cambodia is currently on the right track toward achieving MDG 4, 5 and 6 by 2015. However, institutional development and capacity, and financial sustainability pose great challenges for health system to deal with. Improving equitable access to quality health services need to pay attention to service delivery expansion and quality improvement, safety net for the poor and vulnerable, as well as near-poor, reduction of household catastrophic health expenditures, and development of social health protection in formal sector, eventual expansion to social health insurance with economic growth.
