The Dutch Minister of Development Cooperation, Mrs. Agnes van Ardenne, and the former CEO of AEGON, Kees Storm, chairman of the Health Insurance Fund (HIF), have launched a revolutionary initiative for a new health insurance fund for Africa in the being there of the top of the Dutch business community. The HIF would set up a new, innovative insurance fund for African countries that would enable low-income groups to receive collective health insurance through a best subsidy. This insurance principle will make basic health care, including anti-AIDS medication, available to more people in Africa.
Care would be given by both public and private care providers with whom the insurer would enter into care contracts. The care providers would be paid based on their performance. The execution of this insurance principle would be the central issue and would thus contribute to a more effective healthcare system in Africa. New and obtainable physicians, nurses and care centers could be better utilized and the quality of care would improve.
