The questions of the extent to which FIIs reach the poor is closely related to the cost for households of the services provided by FIIs in comparison to other providers, and the amount of funding available to FIIs. In some cases, FIIs may benefit from special resources to make services more affordable for the poor, for example, when they get support from congregations, whether these are locally based or located in developed countries, or from other organizations including government agencies. In the absence of such support, subsidies granted to the poor may require charging better-off patients more for the services provided to those groups or relying on staffs that are willing to work at below market wages.
