REGIONAL DIFFERENCES IN ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE SERVICES
Journal Title: Българско списание за обществено здраве (Bulgarian Journal of Public Health) - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
In the present study, the access to health care is considered and evaluated from the point of view of the resources for their satisfaction and their distribution in the Bulgarian society. In this sense, the assessments of regional differences in living conditions have a narrower scope and affect the distribution element relative to the standard of living. For this purpose, a number of indicators have been selected, grouped into two thematic areas. Estimates are based on available and regular statistical information from the National Statistical Institute (NSI), Eurostat and the World Health Organization (WHO). Access is an important measure of equality in healthcare, and ensuring equal access is one of the basic principles of health policy in this regard. Very often people most in need have the greatest restrictions on access - one of the most common examples of injustice.
