People on very low incomes in the developing world may soon be able to access health insurance thanks to the Anglican Health Network (AHN).
Based in Geneva, AHN announced 6 October that it will establish a new pilot project to test the concept of providing a ‘micro health insurance plan’ in an African setting. The AHN was established at the Anglican Consultative Council meeting in May, 2009. Its key ambition is to support Anglican health providers to improve health care in the developing world.
“In an era when faith communities have been rediscovered as key health services providers, we are pleased to be leading this innovative approach to low income health care” said the Rev Paul Holley, President and Co-founder of AHN.
Could this be a guide to a private sector insurance reform for America? Hope someone looks into it.
