Micro health insurance in Bangladesh provides basic health care at an affordable rate for the poor and the ultra-poor. The traditional insurance program consists of front cash at each stage of service delivery, but micro health insurance scheme with its partner-agent model based distribution channel cover the adequate risk protection, inclusivity of access, affordability and program sustainability.
