Health financing and access to health care for households in DR. Congo

This work focuses on public health financing and healthcare accessibility for Kinois households in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Low funding for the health sector and low household incomes hamper access to appropriate health care, given the high costs involved. As a result, public authorities and their external technical and financial partners need to intervene in the health sector to ensure that vulnerable households are covered against ruinous expenses. At the same time, it takes a theoretical approach to the state of public finances in the health sector in the DRC. And uses a Logit model to analyze the level of accessibility to healthcare. This analysis is based on the assumption that the socio-economic environment remains constant, "all other things being equal".
