In Papua New Guinea the poorest quintile
is most vulnerable to illness, yet has the lowest
utilization rates of healthcare facilities. When looking at
age groups the elderly ( 55) are the most vulnerable to
illness and the least likely to seek treatment. The lack of
healthcare workers and the distance to facilities are among
the most dominant reasons cited for not utilizing heath care
in the poorest quintile. The perceived quality of services
is a barrier to health care utilization across all
quintiles. Out-of-pocket (OOP) payments have minimal
catastrophic impact, yet have been found to still be a
barrier to utilization - especially amongst the poorest
quintile. The government should focus on and prioritize
strengthening the health services delivery to achieve
universal health coverage. |
