Abstract
The need for health care financing mechanisms that are progressive in Zambia cannot be over-emphasized. It is necessary that health care financing mechanisms are in such a way that they are related to ability to pay. This is an equity objective. This is the main motivation for this study. It is envisaged that this study will provide empirical evidence on the progressivity and determinants of OOP payments. This information is important for policy making regarding health care financing.
