As puntites we need to pave the way for this massive reform in our health-care. Universal Health Care is possible in Africa as proven by Rwanda.
See the Rwandans use a 'sliding scale' system where the poorest pay nothing and the wealthiest pay a maximum of $8 dollars a year. I remember Garowe trialled a successful $1 dollar tax on the hawala users and created a road, this program is going to continue as the pilot project was successful. Why don't we start a health-care for all puntite program where we charge our wealthiest residents a highest rate and the less wealthy a reduced rate and the poorest are given exemptions. If we do this and present it to the international community, they can contribute the rest that is missing for the yearly health-budget. I like Rwanda system because it happens at the community level like garowe have their own insurance, bosaso their own, galkacyo their own, qardho their own, while the puntland health ministry sets policies and regulations around the health-sector and identify 'gaps' in our health-care.
I don't think we should centralize our health-care either in PL, we should allow autonomy of each city and town to have their own decentralized health-care so we can measure which state is performing better then the other.
