【 摘 要 】

The health equity and financialprotection datasheets provide a picture of equity andfinancial protection in the health sectors of low- andmiddle-income countries. Topics covered include:inequalities in health outcomes, health behavior and healthcare utilization; benefit incidence analysis; financialprotection; and the progressivity of health care financing.This report show how health outcomes, risky behaviors andhealth care utilization vary across asset (wealth) quintilesand periods. Benefit-incidence analysis (BIA) shows whether,and by how much, government health expendituredisproportionately benefits the poor the distribution ofsubsidies depends on the assumptions made to allocatesubsidies to households. This reports whether overall healthfinancing, as well as the individual sources of finance, isregressive (i.e. a poor household contributes a larger shareof its resources than a rich one), progressive (i.e. a poorhousehold contributes a smaller share of its resources thana rich one) or proportional.
