Can mutual health organisations influence the quality and the affordability of healthcare provision? The case of the Democratic Republic of Congo

202015 citationsOpen accessUniversité de Kinshasa (UNIKIN)

Abstract

On their own, mutual health organisations in the DRC do not have sufficient power to influence the practices of healthcare providers. Greater responsiveness of the health services to MHO members requires cooperation of all actors involved in healthcare delivery to create an enabling environment where voices defending people's rights are heard.
