| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this research is to examine the CBHI practice and challenges in the North Wollo Zone of Meket Woreda. An in-depth interview and open-ended questions were utilized to collect quantitative data from a simple random sample of 287 respondents (158 males and 129 females). Qualitative information was acquired from a variety of sources as well (IDIs, KIIs and FGDs). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to assess and display quantitative data, while thematic analysis was used to evaluate and present qualitative data. Findings of this research disclosed that majority of the surveyed rural households (80.5%), prior to enrollment in the scheme, were covering their health expenses through out of pocket. Some of the reported restrictions include gaps in program design and execution, insufficient beneficiary participation in CBHI administrative activities, insufficient medical supplies, long referral procedure, and unsatisfactory service delivery by health facilities. According to the findings, the CBHI program's current practice in the research area resulted in a significant improvement in improved healthcare provision to rural families despite increased strain on health experts. Gender of the household, level of education/literacy, and family size were statistically significant at 0.05. The study would contribute to narrow research gaps, as feedback for program implementation, and functioning as a source of information or reference for practitioners -+in the study area | en_US |
