Examining the potential of mobile money-based health insurance for people living with HIV and hypertension or diabetes in Uganda

2026Open accessMakerere University

Abstract

Mobile money-based health insurance was perceived as affordable and acceptable among PWH with NCD comorbidities. However, low insurance literacy and mistrust of insurers remain major obstacles. Mobile money-based health insurance warrants further research as a complementary pathway for expanding health insurance coverage in Uganda and similar settings.
