- Abstract: The Community‐Based Health Insurance (CBHI) scheme was introduced in Ethiopia to overcome the population's over‐reliance on direct out‐of‐pocket expenditures for health care and the associated low level of health service utilization. CBHI is an advance payment arrangement, established on the household level, and targeted mainly at informal sectors in rural areas. After a successful 3‐year pilot implementation, the Ethiopian government decided to expand the CBHI scheme implementation. It has received wide interest among community members, especially those living with chronic diseases and perceived impaired family health status. Low enrollment to the scheme was the barrier to its initial expansion due to limited awareness and misconceptions about the program, financial constraints to paying premiums, and dissatisfaction with the health services. The evaluation of CBHI scheme implementation and future implications in Ethiopia could be better seen from both the learning experience during the implementation process and achievements of the policy objectives. Key points: Community‐Based Health Insurance (CBHI) was introduced in Ethiopia to reduce out‐of‐pocket expenditures, ensure citizens' access to and utilization of essential health services Various facilitators and barriers to the CHBI scheme enrollment were identified The CBHI policy's success in Ethiopia could be better seen from the perspective of both the learning experiences during the implementation process andAbstract: The Community‐Based Health Insurance (CBHI) scheme was introduced in Ethiopia to overcome the population's over‐reliance on direct out‐of‐pocket expenditures for health care and the associated low level of health service utilization.

CBHI es un acuerdo de pago por adelantado, establecido a nivel del hogar y dirigido principalmente a los sectores informales en áreas rurales. Después de una exitosa implementación piloto de 3 años, el gobierno etíope decidió expandir la implementación del esquema CBHI. Ha recibido un gran interés entre los miembros de la comunidad, especialmente aquellos que viven con enfermedades crónicas y perciben un estado de salud familiar deteriorado. La baja inscripción en el esquema fue la barrera para su expansión inicial debido a la poca conciencia y los conceptos erróneos sobre el programa, las limitaciones financieras para pagar las primas y la insatisfacción con los servicios de salud. Los juicios sobre el éxito de la política CBHI y las implicaciones futuras en Etiopía pueden tener que considerar tanto la experiencia de aprendizaje con perspectivas de amplio alcance como los logros de los objetivos de la política. … (more)
