摘要

汇款仍然是流入撒哈拉以南非洲经济体的重要资金。许多研究概述了它在健康、教育、减贫、经济增长、金融发展等指标方面的作用。这刺激了利用与资金流入相关的利益的需求。该研究提出了在撒哈拉以南非洲利用汇款的想法，并提出了加强现有举措的建议。采用了描述性方法。该研究建议建立一个健康账户，以鼓励有意为SSA汇款接受者的医疗融资进行储蓄。它进一步概述了这样一个账户的运作过程和预期收益。

Harnessing the Benefits of Remittances via a Health Account

Remittances remain a vital financial inflow into the economies of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Many studies have outlined its role in indicators such as health, education, poverty reduction, economic growth, financial development, among others. This stimulates the need to harness the benefits associated with this financial inflow. The study proposes an idea to utilize remittances in Sub-Saharan Africa and advances recommendations to augment existing initiatives. A descriptive approach was used. The study recommends the creation of a health account to encourage savings purposely for the healthcare financing of remittance recipients in SSA. It further outlines processes via which such an account could work and the prospective benefits be reaped.
