Context 

Health financing is a key function of health systems. The core components of health financing policies and programs include revenue collection, pooling of resources, and purchase of health  services/ interventions. The design, type and implementation of health financing policies and  programs determine the extent to which the goals of a health system may be achieved for a given  country.

The key focus of the assessment is a critical analysis of the health financing policies and programs  of a selected country based on the given conceptual framework and how that translates into the  achievement of health system goals.
