description |
The author provides an econometric
analysis of health care utilization in Vietnam based on
individual and household level data from the 1997-98 Vietnam
Living Standards Survey. The author focuses on the major
features of health care utilization patterns, including the
determinants of largely self-prescribed use of
pharmaceutical drugs, and the use of government hospitals,
commune health centers, and private health facilities. The
role of income and health insurance is emphasized.
Econometric models are estimated for use probability and
frequency of contact for all major categories of care, and
for individual and household medical expenditure.
Econometric results reveal differential responses to income
changes at different levels of income. Commune health
centers and self-medication are normal goods at lower income
levels but inferior goods at higher income levels. The
author discusses the policy implications of these results. |
