Scope for Micro Health Insurance (MHI) in Bangladesh for Low-Income Households

For more than three decades microfinance has been one of the key development interventions in Bangladesh. This model of innovative financial services such as credit and savings in conjunction with nonfinancial components like capacity building have been playing instrumental roles in income smoothing and consumption smoothing of the low-income people. However, health shocks are unpredictable and eventually can trap poor and near poor households indefinitely into vicious poverty cycles. Therefore, a safety-net component against health shocks for the low-income groups and protecting the clients from catastrophic health expenditure should be an integral part of a development intervention like microfinance. This study is aimed to introduce the concept of ‘Micro Health Insurance’ as a tool for addressing the vulnerability context of low income households. Based on the analysis of growth in health expenditure and large portion of individual financing for health costs in the context of Bangladesh the study identifies a potential demand for health insurance and scope for providing such services through the existing wide network of microfinance institutions.
