Resumen
Descripción
The health equity and financial
protection reports are short country-specific volumes that
provide a picture of equity and financial protection in the
health sectors of low-and middle-income countries. Topics
covered include: inequalities in health outcomes, health
behavior and health care utilization; benefit incidence
analysis; financial protection; and the progressivity of
health care financing. Pakistan's government is
committed to improving the equity of health outcomes and the
ability to offer financial protection in the health sector
through the implementation of the National Health Policy.
Pakistan spends 2.62 per cent (2009) of its gross domestic
product (GDP) on health. This is far lower than the average
spending levels in other countries in the South Asia Region,
which have spent an average of 5.3 per cent (2009) of their
GDP on health.
