The Health Care Services Outreach in Microfinance Institutions

Description

Increasing in the health care access is one of the goals towards universal health coverage; the health management performance is considered an indicator of efficiency in healthcare service delivery. Increasing in the health care access contributes to advance the ability of healthcare services in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases; at the same time, reducing the average days per inpatient may be an indication of good care coordination. On the other hand, one of the main ways to strengthen the health-system capacity by the interdisciplinary approaches is to promote social health by linking microfinance with healthcare support activities. Strengthening this connection and exploring the interrelationship between the diversification of health care support activities and the health care services outreach by microfinance institutions is very helpful.
