Health insurance in Fiji

The Government of Fiji is exploring options for reforming the way in which health care services are financed and delivered.

McFarland, Deborah A. · 1993

Abstract

This document examines the role that health insurance may play in such a reform. Health insurance in Fiji is limited to the private sector; there is currently no comprehensive social insurance mechanism designed to ensure the availability of affordable health care services. Examination of existing group plans and data collected on insurance participants can provide guidance in making policy decisions about financing future health care systems in Fiji. (Author abstract)
