Bangladesh Government introduced Health Care Financing Strategy (HCFS): 2012-2032 in 2012. The second strategic objective of this strategy is to improve equity and increase health care access especially for the poor and vulnerable. Hence, as a strategic intervention to meet the aforementioned objective, Health Economics Unit (HEU) has been piloting a scheme called Shasthyo Suroksha Karmasuci (SSK) for the health care of Below Poverty Line (BPL) population in three upazilas of Tangail since 2016 and expansion of SSK to rest of the upazilas are underway.
An independent evaluation conducted by ICDDR,B and funded by USAID has found that SSK is successful in mitigating its financial objectives of reducing Out-Of-Pocket (OOP) expenditure, Catastrophic Health Expenditure (CHE) and impoverishment of SSK cardholders who received healthcare services using SSK card. Under such circumstances, to achieve the target of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by utilizing knowledge and experience of SSK piloting, the government has decided to expand SSK activities in Dhaka City and six new Districts including Kurigram. To do that, it is necessary to conduct a study titled “Identification and Listing of BPL Households for Shasthyo Shuroksha Karmasuchi (SSK) in Kurigram District” to identify and prepare the BPL household list for Kurigram District. |
