Abstract：
With global public debt at record levels, governments are facing unprecedented challenges in providing essential health services. This exploratory study aims to assess the relevance of Health Impact Bonds (HIBs) as a means of financing preventative health services during times of fiscal constraint and in the aftermath of the COVID pandemic. The study draws on a review of the literature on HIBs, along with a case study analysis of HIBs implemented in the UK. The findings of the study indicate that, although HIBs offer promise as an innovative funding tool for preventative health services in tight fiscal situations, certain challenges are limiting their broader adoption.
摘要：
随着全球公共债务达到创纪录水平，各国政府在提供基本卫生服务方面面临前所未有的挑战。这项探索性研究旨在评估健康影响债券(HIB)作为在财政紧缩时期和COVID大流行之后为预防性卫生服务提供资金的一种手段的相关性。这项研究借鉴了关于HIB的文献综述，以及在英国实施的HIB的案例研究分析。研究结果表明,尽管HIB有望在财政紧缩的情况下成为预防性卫生服务的创新筹资工具，某些挑战限制了它们的更广泛采用。
