Abstract

Este documento tiene como propósito realizar un diagnóstico de los gastos de bolsillo en salud, establecer cómo afectan los patrones de gasto de los hogares e identificar los factores asociados a la carga de los gastos de salud que estos deben enfrentar. Los resultados muestran que la mayor carga de los gastos del sector es asumida por el sector público, lo que le ha permitido a los hogares mantener una baja carga de gastos cuando se compara con los países vecinos. En el ámbito regional se observó que la región Caribe es la que mayores gastos de bolsillo enfrenta. Por otro lado, se encontró que la edad del jefe de hogar, su género, su condición de afiliación a los seguros de salud y la composición etaria de los hogares son algunos de los factores que mayor relación presentan con la incidencia de los gastos de bolsillo.
