Ensuring equity in healthcare is the main concern of health
policymakers in order to provide a sustainable health system. This
concern is more prominent in developing countries due to the
scarcity of resources. This book provides a comprehensive analysis
and discussion on the distributive pattern of out-of-pocket
pharmaceutical expenditures under the health reforms in Turkey and
makes comparisons with pharmerging countries. Turkey's health
reforms began in 2003 to address shortcomings related to financial
protection and to improve health outcomes and the quality of
healthcare services. The primary motivation was to ensure equity in
the distribution of health resources, and this transformation
process led to profound changes in how these resources were used,
and in health financing in general. However, there is a lack of
knowledge regarding the long-term effect of health reforms on the
distribution patterns of health expenditures and health service
use. This book offers a thorough equity analysis of the health
financing system, affected by this health transformation program.
Index and curve approaches are used in the equity analysis of
pharmaceutical expenditures. The book examines the long-term
effects of health system regulations on the health spending
characteristics of households and improves the current
understanding of equity in this context. It includes extensive
international comparisons of healthcare services across a range of
developing countries and highlights the significance of ensuring
equity for emerging economies. The author explores the existing
evidence as well as future research directions and provides policy
and planning advice for health policymakers to contribute to
establishing a more equal health system design. Additionally, the
book will be of interest to scholars and professionals in the
fields of health economics, public health management and health
financing.
