Technology Policy & Regulation
Why and how should we regulate the use of AI in health care?
The Global Health Financing Initiative hosted a presentation given by Adam Wagstaff, Lead Economist at the World Bank, on the impact of social health insurance (SHI) on health care spending, utilization, health status and labor markets in developing and transition countries. Wagstaff discussed recent work in this area, and also shares views on the relative merits of SHI vis-à-vis other health financing approaches as a mechanism to raise revenues, change incentives for providers, protect households from catastrophic health spending and facilitate access to health care by the poor.
