Exemptions scholarships

From the perspective of safety nets, the main objective of fee waiver, exemption, and scholarship programs is to provide poor people with the financial resources to use health... 

Political support for fee waivers cannot be assessed in isolation from the existence of user fees. On the one hand, fees for health care are highly controversial (see Hutton 2004 for a description of the establishment of fees and the need for exemptions), and waiver systems are often not thought to be the solution in relation to health care. On the other hand, fee waivers and scholarships for students are popular, especially among international development agencies, because health and schooling provide the link between short-mn transfer benefits and long-run human capital formation. Therefore countries want to use the fees to improve the quality of the services while finding ways not to exclude the poor.
