Strengthening financial protection through multitiered health coverage: evidence from 667 055 low-income households in China

Emerging tools such as big data analytics and artificial intelligence offer new ways to monitor and optimise equity; it is timely to extend equity considerations beyond funding mobilisation to reimbursement.
