Use of Social Impact Bonds in Financing Health Systems Responses to Non-communicable Diseases: Scoping Review

This scoping review examines the application of Social Impact Bonds (SIBs) as a financing mechanism for health systems' responses to non-communicable diseases (NCDs). It investigates how SIBs are structured to link funding to specific health outcomes, thereby incentivizing effective interventions. The authors analyse the existing literature to understand the promises, challenges, and evidence regarding the effectiveness of SIBs in improving health outcomes for NCDs globally.
