Health payments are pushing people into poverty, even in high-income countries
Извор: Светска здравствена организација - 12.06.2018
Press release - Copenhagen, 12 June 2018
A new WHO study shows evidence that health payments (paying for medicines and health services) are unaffordable for many people and cause financial hardship across the WHO European Region, including in high-income countries. The estimates prepared with data from 25 countries show that up to 8% of households cannot afford to pay for basic needs – food, rent, utility bills – after paying out of pocket for health care. This situation goes against the Tallinn Charter, which was adopted by 53 Member States of the Region in 2008, and states: “It is unacceptable that people become poor as a result of ill health”.
Tough questions will be asked at the high-level WHO meeting “Health systems for prosperity and solidarity, leaving no one behind”, which is to be held in Tallinn, Estonia on 13–14 June 2018, and countries will be encouraged to take urgent action.
