| description |
This report analyzes equity and
financial protection in the health sector of Zambia. In
particular, it examines inequalities in health outcomes,
health behavior and health care utilization; benefit
incidence analysis; financial protection; and the
progressivity of health care financing. Data are drawn from
the 2007 Zambia demographic and health survey, the 2006
Zambia living conditions monitoring survey, the 2003 Zambia
world health survey and the 2003 Zambia national health
accounts. All analyses are conducted using original survey
data and employ the health modules of the ADePT software.
Overall, health care financing in Zambia in 2006 was fairly
progressive, i.e. the better-off spent a larger fraction of
their consumption on health care than the poor. The
financing sources that contribute to the overall
progressivity of health care finance are general taxation,
which finances 42 per cent of domestic spending on health,
and contributions made by private employers, which finance 9
per cent of spending. An additional contribution to overall
progressivity is made through pre-payment mechanisms, but
this remains fairly limited given that they only represent 1
per cent of total health finance. Out-of-pocket health
payments, which account for 47 per cent of total health
financing, appear to be proportional to income, with only
slight and not statistically significant evidence of progressivity. |
