  In many developing countries, the number of health micro-insurance schemes is increasing rapidly. In order to be sustainable and capable of growth, these schemes must be well-designed from the start. This Guide will assist promoters of health micro-insurance schemes in achieving this. It describes the preconditions for setting up a scheme, and most importantly, the characteristics needed to ensure the scheme’s viability and effectiveness. The Guide is organized in two volumes: Volume 1 focuses on “procedures” and provides stakeholders with step-by-step assistance in carrying out the feasibility study; Volume 2 focuses on “tools” and, for each step, offers practical support in applying the procedure.
