Proposal to Create an Economic and Financial Analysis Unit for the Integrated Health Insurance Program in Peru

Economic and financial analysis units and the like within public institutions in certain Latin American countries are generally a recent development associated with health reform activities. They typically reside at middle- to upper- decision-making levels or directly advise upper-level authorities such as ministers and secretaries of health.

The creation of a Financial and Economic Analysis Unit will benefit from the Integral Health Insurance (SIS) personnel’s familiarity with provider financing, micro-allocation of resources and provider functioning, as acquired through experience with verification and payment functions carried out under SIS.
