Abstract

Community-based healthcare insurance programmes have been introduced in Ethiopia to improve access to medicines and services for rural populations. A survey design was employed using structured questionnaires administered to community members across selected villages. Data collection focused on participants' experiences with healthcare insurance schemes and their effects on accessing medical resources. In one village surveyed, 75% of respondents reported improved access to essential medications post-programme implementation. The findings suggest significant improvements in medication availability and service utilization following the introduction of community-based healthcare insurance programmes. Further studies should explore long-term impacts and potential variations among different geographic regions.
