We bring a systematic and holistic approach to health financing which benefits both policy-makers and users of a healthcare system.
Through systematic and holistic Health Financing Assessment (HFA), Stratega Optima is able to identify what works well in health system financing continuum, specify current gaps in knowledge, information and data, detect barriers and inefficiency in health system financing and provide recommendations through assessing resource mobilization, financial pooling and effective payments mechanisms and PFM for improvement of coverage and quality of health services.
We are specialized in health policy reviews adaptation and formulation, resource mobilization analysis and innovative financing instruments, funding flow and pooling efficiency analysis, financial tracking and analysis, improvement of payment mechanisms and strategic purchasing, technical and allocative efficiency analysis, optimization of investments modeling, VfM analysis, HTA and HIS assessment, financial protection and equity reviews, improvement of private-public and CSO engagement linking health investments with outputs, outcomes and impact.
Carefully designed and implemented health financing policies can save the money, improve impact and catalyze engagement of key stakeholders. We support countries to increase resources for health and improve the effectiveness of funding collected from government and private sources in the health sector through domestic revenue collection, spread health risks across their populations and strengthen public financial management, and allocate financial resources efficiently and equitably.
Contracting and payment arrangements can incentivize healthcare management, coverage and improve quality of care. Stratega Optima designs and implements situation-specific results-based financing (RBF) programs, and evaluates those already underway. We provide implementation support, business process refinement, and technology solutions for health insurance programs. We work on sustainability and transition readiness assessment and plans to build government capacity to take over financing of external funding through prioritization, optimization and efficiency gains and to create fiscal space for health.
We use robust modeling to estimate marginal effects, elasticity, allocative and technical efficiency, effectiveness and impact (Regression, SEM, deterministic and probabilistic models, etc.) to optimize investments for better outcomes and impact.
Stratega Optima is specialized in health financing analysis and utilization of e-tools on the markets such as NNHA, NASA, One Health tool, STAR, WHOICE, AIM, AEM, TIME etc.

o Review and analysis of pooling of funds mechanisms and its effect on health financial protection, coverage and quality of services and health outcomes.
o Strategic purchasing and Effective procurement system analysis
o Design, adaptation and monitoring and evaluation of provider payment mechanisms as (RBF, RfP, DLI, etc.) and analysis of strategic purchasing of services
o PFM Assessment
o Health financing modeling and analysis
