The Government of Meghalaya in India is committed to providing its residents with fair and equitable access to healthcare services. The Government of Meghalaya has approached IFC to advise and assist it to structure and launch a Universal Health Insurance Scheme (UHIS) for all its residents. The Project will be structured in two phases. Phase one will allow for the immediate roll-out of the UHIS to all families in the state that are both above and below the poverty line. The scheme will be based on the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojna (RSBY) scheme. Subsequently, based on the lessons learned from Phase one and the in-depth study of the health environment in the state, Phase two of the project will be launched by IFC. This phase is expected to provide a more robust universal health insurance scheme with several additional features tailored to the specific requirements of the state in terms of level of care, disease and financial coverage.
