Summary
• Lao used to have the missing middle problem pre-NHI
• With NHI, missing middle issue is largely avoided: Lao covers
everyone according to geography in a sequenced manner, with
Vientiane last, thus targeting the most needy first
• However, some issues remain; NHI specific issues and quality
challenges
• ADB stands to support Lao PDR as NHI matures and progresses
towards UHC
