The contribution of rwandan health insurance in economic development of rwanda

5.5. SUGGESTION FOR FURTHER RESEARCH

The study that was intended to examining the contribution of mutual health insurance on the economic development of the beneficiaries in Ruganda sector had not covered the whole population. This research cannot claim to be as exhaustive as many readers may expect it to be. This was due resources constraints. In the future, some closely related studies can be conducted. The following are some of them:

a. The impact of commonly based health insurance on the economic development compared with some beneficiaries' beliefs towards health insurance,

b. The relationship between economic development and mutual health insurance scheme,

c. The effect of improved healthcare services on the economic development,

d. The contribution of reduction of the real costs of health services on the economy.

Moreover, the future research should focus on the standardization of mutual health insurance schemes for these to contribute effectively on the economic development of the beneficiaries.
