The Government of Nepal introduced the National Health Insurance Program (NHIP) under the Health Insurance Act, 2017 as a key mechanism for advancing Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and reducing financial barriers to accessing essential health services. Despite several years of implementation, coverage remains limited, Acharya, D., Sharma, S., & Bietsch, K. (2024) reported that only 10% of Nepal's population was enrolled in the National Health Insurance Program according to NDHS 2022. However, Asian Development Bank (ADB) study published in 2024 reported that about 23% of the population was covered under the Health insurance, highlighting challenges related to enrollment, renewal, and financial sustainability. The administrative data form HIB reveals that about 30% of Population is covered by Health Insurance. Coverage varies significantly among provinces with highest enrollment 21% in Koshi and just about 3.1% in Madhesh. Enrollment is disproportionately concentrated among subsidized and vulnerable populations, while sustaining voluntary enrollment and renewals continues to be a significant challenge. In addition, concerns have emerged regarding the overall sustainability and effectiveness of the scheme, including overlapping financing arrangements across social protection and insurance mechanisms, inefficiencies in claims processing and reimbursement systems, provider payment delays, variable service quality, beneficiary dissatisfaction, and governance challenges affecting strategic stewardship of the Health Insurance Board (HIB). Recognizing the importance of health insurance reform within Nepal's broader health financing agenda, the National Planning Commission (NPC), in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Food Safety (MoHFS), seeks an evidence-based assessment of the NHIP. The study has two fold objectives first to conduct a concise literature review of the National Health Insurance Programme (NHIP), summarizing the key challenges to achieving financially sustainable Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and second is to develop a policy brief that outlines evidence-based reform options, identifies priority research gaps, and proposes a phased roadmap of practical reforms to strengthen governance, improve operational and financial performance, increase enrollment and retention, and accelerate progress towards UHC. UNICEF Nepal will mobilize a consultant to support NPC on the preparation of the deliverable and support coordination with national stakeholders.
