Thông tin chi tiết
Tóm tắt : | 114 p. The pace of health reforms in Tajikistan has been slow and in many aspectsthe health system is still shaped by the country’s Soviet legacy. Thecountry has the lowest total health expenditure per capita in the WHOEuropean Region, much of it financed privately through out-of-pocket payments.Public financing depends principally on regional and local authorities, thuscompounding regional inequalities across the country. The high share of privateout-of-pocket payments undermines a range of health system goals, includingfinancial protection, equity, efficiency and quality. The efficiency of the healthsystem is also undermined by outdated provider payment mechanisms andlack of pooling of funds. Quality of care is another major concern, due tofactors such as insufficient training, lack of evidence-based clinical guidelines,underuse of generic drugs, poor infrastructure and equipment (particularly atthe regional level) and perverse financial incentives for physicians in the formof out-of-pocket payments. Health reforms have aimed to strengthen primaryhealth care, but it still suffers from underinvestment and low prestige. A basicbenefit package and capitation-based financing of primary health care havebeen introduced as pilots but have not yet been rolled out to the rest of thecountry. The National Health Strategy envisages substantial reforms in healthfinancing, including nationwide introduction of capitation-based payments forprimary health care and more than doubling public expenditure on health by2020; it remains to be seen whether this will be achieved. |
