Socioeconomic inequalities in health and the use of healthcare services in Catalonia: analysis of the individual data of 7.5 million residents

Descripció

• Resum

  Social protection systems are related to each community's culture. In most of the developed countries with welfare systems health care provides universal access to their population. Despite its achievements, the main concern today of public health systems is financial sustainability. The challenge results from the fact that most of the health systems are very set in their ways and do not seem much prepared to answer that is to come in health care. And as our cause of concern here, for the interventions likely to be required to fight against the inequity that will result from those future developments. This forces to rethink our systems and to direct universalism to a greater extent towards the most needy, fragile population that have been left behind by the economic crisis and may suffer loss of access to some innovations in health care.
