| Summary: | The 2018 database on Health Equity and
Financial Protection indicators provides data on equity in
the delivery of health service interventions and health
outcomes, and on financial protection in health. This paper
provides a brief history of the database, gives an overview
of the contents of the 2018 version of the database, and
then gets into the details of the construction of its two
sides -- the health equity side and the financial protection
side. The paper also provides illustrative uses of the
database, including the extent of and trends in inequity in
maternal and child health intervention coverage, the extent
of inequities in women's cancer screening and inpatient
care utilization, and trends and inequalities in the
incidence of catastrophic health expenditures. |
