Abstract

Empirical findings from international evidence showed that the main factors hampering people’s enrolment in MHI1 in the developing world are the problems with the affordability of premiums, the trust in the integrity and competence of the managers, the attractiveness of the benefit package and the quality of care that is offered by the providers. (Carrin, G. et al, 2005). Bangladesh provides context to study MHI schemes where the NGOs involved in

implementation of the schemes. It would be appropriate to understand the perceptions of the community for improved coverage and provide recommendations for redesigning of Micro Health Insurance scheme for rural women in Bangladesh (MHIB) and strengthening of networks for better implementation of community based health insurance schemes in the country.
