| description |
Among the many shifts of emphasis that
have been evident in global health over the past twenty-five
years or so, two stand out: a concern over the poor lagging
behind the better off in progress towards global goals; and
a concern to look beyond whether people get the services
they need to the affordability of the out-of-pocket
expenditures associated with these services. The World
Bank's 2018 Health equity and financial protection
indicators (HEFPI) database is a new global resource for
tracking progress on both fronts. It is, in effect, the
fourth in the series of such databases. The 2018 database
includes eighteen indicators of service use (twelve
preventative, six curative) and twenty-eight health outcome
indicators. The data are calculated from household surveys,
identified mostly through searches of data catalogues and
websites of multicountry survey initiatives. The 2018 HEFPI
dataset is freely downloadable, and a data visualisation
tool is also available. To ensure the data are reproducible,
and in line with the guidelines for accurate and transparent
health estimates reporting, the authors document their
methods thoroughly in a working paper and highlight the
differences between their definitions and others; They also
provide the essential computer code used to produce the estimates. |
