Patients’ willingness to pay for health care quality improvement under universal healthcare coverage in Egypt

2025Open accessAlexandria University

Abstract

WTP for quality improvement among study participants was low, being the lowest among the elderly and lower-educated individuals. Community financing should not be a method for funding quality improvements except for a few quality attributes such as doctor-patient communication and increased doctor competence. This should be coupled with clear exemption criteria for those unable to pay.
