Anahtar Kelimeler:Healthcare System,Financing,Funding mechanisms and Cameroon

Özet: The purpose of this study is to identify healthcare systems and its financial components of Cameroon. As we know, Health care financing studies in Africa and cross-national levels have tended to focus on many modes of financing at a time, such as user fees, insurance,government budget, external aid, also on financing-related issues such as equity and quality of care. Relatively few attempts have been made in the literature to analyze total nationalhealth financing from all sources and to relate them to their various uses. This study also uses the broader framework of National Health Accounts (NHA) to analyze national health system and financing in Cameroon. Health care financing is one of the fastest growing areas in the field of public health economics. Health systems are defined as comprising all the organizations, institutions and resources that are devoted to producing health activities. Due to thatreasons this study examined the challenges of health system and financing health care in Cameroon. It also identified various funding mechanisms available to finance health care in Cameroon.
