Most respondents were willing to enroll and pay for PVHI. The mean monthly WTP of respondents for their premium was 396 Naira ($3.3), whilst the mean monthly WTP of respondents for other household members was 261 Naira ($2.2) per household member. Rural dwellers and worse-off socio-economic status (SES) groups stated smaller WTP than urbanites and better-off SES groups. PVHI is a promising strategy for health financing in southeast Nigeria but unsubsidized PVHI will never cover everybody.</Abstract> <AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage> <Keywords/> <URLs> <Abstract>https://ajhe.org.in/ubijournal-v1copy/journals/abstract.php?article_id=2589&title=WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR PRIVATE VOLUNTARY HEALTH INSURANCE IN SOUTHEAST NIGERIA</Abstract> </URLs> <References> <ReferencesarticleTitle>References</ReferencesarticleTitle> <ReferencesfirstPage>16</ReferencesfirstPage> <ReferenceslastPage>19</ReferenceslastPage> <References/> </References> </Journal> </Article> </ArticleSet>
