Economic and Social Impact Assessment of Chronic Diseases Among the Low-Income Population in Southern Punjab, Pakistan
Introduction: Chronic diseases are becoming more prevalent worldwide. The effects of chronic illnesses are disastrous not only for the diagnosed person but also for their entire family. This study explores chronic diseases’ social and economic impact on low-income families. The study aims to determine the economic and social implications of various chronic diseases and the loss of income due to these conditions among low-income individuals in Southern Punjab, Pakistan. Methodology: A sample of 424 patients was selected from different areas of Southern Punjab. Data were collected using a questionnaire that included questions about economic status, self-reported health status, social status, management strategies, and health insurance, among other factors. Results: The mean monthly income of the respondents was found to be 57,097.6 Pakistani rupee (PKR), and the mean monthly expenses for treatment were 8,256.1 PKR. The loss of income was calculated at 15%. Additionally, 62% of patients spent more than 10% of their monthly income on managing their disease. Approximately 85% of the respondents reported that chronic diseases affected their social life. Furthermore, 80% of patients lacked health insurance. Conclusion: Chronic diseases impose significant economic and social burdens on patients and their families in Southern Punjab. To reduce the burden of chronic diseases, the government should enhance healthcare services in this region and provide health insurance to low-income families.
