| 要約: | Background: Social protection in health is a key instrument to address poverty, income security and access to health services. Its aim is to provide access to health services at
an affordable cost. Some degree of basic social protection in health is possible and affordable in any country, but to be effective it requires political will and a strong legal framework. Provision of social protection is challenging in the context of Nepal. In Nepal, around one third of the population lies below the poverty line. According to a
report of the ILO (2004), only 45 percent of house-holds have access to basic health care. Nearly 80 percent of the total labour force is engaged in the agriculture sector, 3 percent in manufacturing industries and 17 percent in service sector. |
