An integrated approach to health care financing--the case of Chogoria Hospital.
A response to the increasing financial crisis for African hospitals is presented. The first measure is careful health care system design. Cost to the community can be reduced by cost-containment, income generation, and seeking of donations. Community ability to pay can be boosted by community financial development and community insurance. The final measure is continual appropriate level setting.
