Summary
- To be able to target health policies more efficiently, policymakers require knowledge about which individuals benefit most from a particular programme.
- Contrasting two health insurance schemes (subsidised and contributory) to no insurance, we find beneficial average impacts of enrolment in contributory health insurance on maternal health care utilisation and infant mortality.
- For subsidised health insurance, however, both effects were smaller and not statistically significant.
