Insurance coverage has increased from 68% in 2007 to 92% in 2015

Note: membership is proxied by household payments to insurance schemes (ie. premiums) and employer/government contributions. Source: Household Income & Expenditure Survey

OOPS has remained relatively stable at approximately 2 million rials per person per year

Slight increase from 2014-15 is not statistically significant

Note: Figures reported in the 2015 WHO evaluation report were disaggregated and presented by quarter. Estimates presented here are pooled quarterly data and are therefore more representative for the entire year. Source: Household Income & Expenditure Survey

Conclusions

HTP is steadily scaling-up and deepening historically well-known health care system with clear vision of achieving UHC by 2025

In 2.5 years of implementation impressive achievements have been made as approved by two sets of WHO-led independent evaluations

Some programmatic and institutional challenges require urgent attention: sustainable fiscal space, EB service package, NCDs, workforce, etc.
