Social Health Protection for Women in High Migration Areas Landscape Analysis Report

The LHSS Project Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) Bureau Activity seeks to strengthen the capacity of countries in the LAC region to provide and sustain equitable access to affordable, acceptable, and quality health services for women who are migrants or at risk of migration. This landscape analysis report on Social Health Protection for Women in High-Migration Contexts provides LHSS-LAC, USAID, national governments, regional stakeholders, and other development partners with an inventory of country experiences and strategies for improving access to social health protection (SHP) for women migrants and women at risk of migration. SHP encompasses a broad range of contributory and noncontributory schemes designed to help vulnerable groups access appropriate medical care without incurring costs beyond their means; these include social security, community health insurance, conditional transfer programs, and systems that reimburse private providers with public funds.
