  Description

  The technical assistance was instrumental in letting emerge policy options for the financing of the health system in Saint Lucia in view of the introduction of a national health insurance (NHI). Experts from France, Germany and Italy accompanied emerging policy options on a concrete context analysis. A second outcome was an individual capacity development of key staff of the Ministry of Health and Wellness on policy design in relation to public health policies. The theoretical learning was linked to the current project of introduction of NHI, with experts helping to outline the distinct phases and steps that shall be accomplished for introducing NHI in Saint Lucia.
