Nepal to Restructure National Health Insurance Program for Sustainability

Nepal is set to restructure its national health insurance program to ensure sustainability and prevent misuse of funds. The restructuring will be implemented through the Budget for the financial year 2026-2027, starting July 16, 2026. The program will be divided into three tiers: government-supported services for the poor, contribution-based services for the middle class, and mechanisms to control misuse. Finance Minister Dr. Swarnim Wagle emphasized the need for restructuring due to the unsustainable nature of the current system and the increase in unnecessary tests and misuse in private hospitals. The government is considering allocating a portion of taxes from items like cigarettes and alcohol to the health insurance fund.
