Objectives
The objectives of the Health Insurance Fund are:

To increase access to quality basic health care for currently uninsured groups mainly through private health facilities;

To lower the threshold for investment in private health infrastructure; and thus
To contribute to reducing poverty and halting the spread of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and other major diseases.

The successful execution of each of the sub-goals should lead to: reducing health and financial risks for low-income families, reducing the financial and operational risk of healthcare providers and insurance companies, reducing the risk of ineffective of aid, and reducing the risk of the consequences of an overcrowded low quality healthcare delivery for governments. And together should achieve its strategic goal of building a healthcare delivery system that functions efficient and effectively over a long-term period.
