This commentary examines, the implications of a declining DAH landscape for health systems in low- and middleincome, countries (LMICs). The loss of donor support not only creates significant funding gaps but also removes certain benefits that donors have provided - such as sustained financing for high-impact vertical programs (e.g. immunization and disease control) and coordination functions. At the same time, the reduction in DAH may alleviate some longstanding distortions, including the fragmentation caused by vertical initiatives and the internal “brain drain” of talent into donor-funded projects, opening opportunities for countries to reclaim leadership. The immediate challenge for health system leaders is to mitigate service disruptions through short-term measures, while pursuing long-term strategies to increase domestic health investment and strengthen system-wide capacities. We emphasize the need for renewed commitment to the principles of country ownership and alignment - now driven by domestic stewardship rather than donor conditionality. In a changing global context, new arrangements that complement national efforts are needed to ensure that global solidarity and support for shared health goals persist despite a reduced role for traditional aid.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101183,"journal":{"name":"SSM - Health Systems","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100107"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144653476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Overcoming the barriers to implement a sustainable CBHI is a policy priority for Bangladesh and will reflect on a global debate about the role of CBHI in attaining UHC. The goal of this study is to identify appropriate policies which support a sustainable CBHI and to assess the impact of these policies over time. A System Dynamics approach is used to build a model, simulate, and evaluate policy scenarios. The model was parameterized using data from the literature, primary data collected from a CBHI scheme in Bangladesh and expert opinion. Although there is potential for a sustainable CBHI scheme in Bangladesh, achieving this requires coverage of over 60 % of the target population to ensure risk sharing among insured members, external or mandatory public financing as a seed money until attaining self-sufficiency (i.e., ability to generate enough revenue to maintain the scheme without external funding), and a robust regulatory framework. Even though Bangladesh is known as the birthplace of microfinance and the land of non-governmental organizations with many successful community initiatives, it is unlikely that CBHI would achieve sustainability in the long run without these essential components.

HCWs reported some knowledge and skills for addressing IPV in patients, but many did not feel prepared, especially for the emotional aspects of care, and burnout was common. A significant barrier to care was HCW’s reluctance to engage with IPV patients or their cases for reasons such as the normalization of violence or hesitance to participate in the justice system.
