22. Challenges
1.Pursuing unrealistic goals-
a. UHC doesn't require a universally applicable
package of health care services that must be
covered.
b.There is a problem that equal financial access
that may be facilitated by health insurance
doesn't necessarily mean equal physical access
to high quality health care
c. Problems with egalitarian percepts – concepts
of opportunity costs.
23. 2. Problem with medicines:
a. Underuse of generic and higher than
necessary prices for medicine
b. Use of substandard and counterfeit medicine
c. Inappropriate and effective use of medicine
3. Heath care products and services:
Overuse or supply of equipment, investigations
and procedures.
4. Heath workers:
Inappropriate or costly staff mix, unmotivated
workers
24. 5. Health care services:
Inappropriate hospital admissions and length of
stay
6. Health care services:
A. Inappropriate hospital size ( low use of
infrastructure)
B. Medical errors and suboptimal quality of care .
7. Heath system leakages:
Waste, corruption and fraud
8. Heath interventions:
Inefficient mix/ inappropriate level of strategies
