Abstract
|
|
|
Both access to healthcare services and income security in case of personal illness are being needed to achieve universal healthcoverage, which is enshrined in the human rights to health and social security and international standards on social protection.
Income security acts on both the social determinants and the adverse consequences of ill health and thus would break the viciousdisease-poverty cycle. The government is supposed to implement a demonstration project of sickness benefit in 2022 and to publicizeits more specific blueprint for all workers. This study is to suggest basic principles and a framework to design a new sickness benefitfor universal health coverage, which is based on reviews on previous studies, related issues, and institutional conditions. This is toprovide a theoretical basis to promote further discussion and to support its decision-making.
