Abstract

By using nationally representative consumption expenditure surveys (CES) conducted by the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) in 1999-2000, 2004-05 and 2011-12, this paper has analysed the socioeconomic differentials in the burden of paying for healthcare in India. The study found that in all waves of data, the concentration of population reporting OOP health expenditure has shown a shift towards poor population, while the concentration of overshoot expenditure is still constant among the rich which is more pronounced in the rural areas of the country. Furthermore, Muslims and Sikhs among different religions, Scheduled Casts among social categories, self-employed and casual/agricultural labour among household types and rural areas among sectors are more likely to incur OOP health expenditure as compared to their counterparts. This study argues for the universal health insurance coverage to protect households from the significant burden of expenditure on critical healthcare.

印度医疗保健负担的社会经济差异：分类分析。

通过使用全国抽样调查组织(NSSO)在1999-2000年，2004-05年和2011-12年进行的具有全国代表性的消费支出调查(CES)，本文分析了印度支付医疗保健负担的社会经济差异。该研究发现，在所有数据中，报告OOP保健支出的人口集中已向贫困人口转移，而过度支出仍然集中在富人中，这在该国农村地区更为明显。此外，与同类相比，不同宗教中的穆斯林和锡克教徒、社会类别中的排期种姓、家庭类型中的自营职业者和临时/农业劳动力以及各部门中的农村地区更有可能产生OOP保健支出。本研究认为，全民健康保险覆盖范围，以保护家庭从重要的医疗保健支出的重大负担。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
