Abstract

French Abstract: Au Togo, de nouvelles politiques de santé et protection sociale ont été initiées entre 2011 et 2015 dans l’optique de résoudre le problème de dépenses catastrophique de santé. Toutefois, malgré ses initiatives et efforts, la contribution des ménages au financement des soins de santé reste conséquente dans le pays. Ce papier analyse la situation des dépenses catastrophiques de santé au Togo. Il explore le comportement des ménages togolais face aux dépenses catastrophiques de santé et les facteurs explicatifs de ces dépenses. Utilisant les données d’enquête 2015 du QUESTIONNAIRE UNIFIÉ DES INDICATEURS DE BASE DU BIEN-ÊTRE (QUIBB) portant sur 2400 ménages et une méthodologie en six étapes avec les approches sur la capacité à payer et les dépenses totales des ménages, il ressort des résultats que 7% (seuil de 40%) des ménages ont effectué des dépenses catastrophiques mesurées par rapport aux dépenses non alimentaires. A ce seuil aussi, les ménages togolais à risque allouent 60% de leurs dépenses mensuelles totales aux soins de santé. Les résultats révèlent ensuite qu’un ménage togolais appartenant à un quintile élevé, ayant un homme comme chef ménage, veuf, avec un niveau d’instruction primaire ou élevé, est faiblement exposé à un risque de dépenses catastrophique de santé. Inversement, un ménage dirigé par une femme, appartenant aux quintiles les plus bas, utilisant de soins de santé autres que dans les centres dédiés est exposé à un plus grand risque. English Abstract: In Togo, new health and social protection policies were initiated between 2011 and 2015 with a view to solving the problem of catastrophic health expenditure. However, despite its initiatives and efforts, the contribution of households to the financing of health care remains substantial in the country. This paper analyzes the situation of catastrophic health expenditure in Togo. It explores the behavior of Togolese households in the case of catastrophic health expenditure and the explanatory factors for this expenditure. Using 2015 survey data from the UNIFIED QUESTIONNAIRE OF BASIC WELLBEING INDICATORS (QUIBB) for 2400 households and a six-step methodology with the approaches to capacity to pay and total household expenditures, the results show that 7% (40% threshold) of households performed expenditures measured against non-food expenditures. At this level too, Togolese households at risk allocate 60% of their total monthly expenditure to health care. The results then reveal that a Togolese household belonging to a high quintile, with a male head of household, widowed, with a primary or high level of education, has a low risk of catastrophic health expenditure. Conversely, a woman-headed household of the lowest quintiles using health care other than in dedicated centers is at greater risk.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
