Can Communication Campaigns Promote Demand for Health Insurance in Kenya?
In Kenya, SHOPS demonstrated that with targeted assistance health insurance companies can significantly increase the number of lives covered, including those in need of HIV and AIDS care and treatment. However, to be sustainable, the industry must expand their markets beyond the formally employed. This study provides evidence on the potential for a communications campaign to influence the awareness, knowledge, and attitudes toward health insurance of the informal sector.
