The population-weighted proportion of people with large household expenditures on health as a share of total household expenditure or income. For global reporting, two threshold values are used: a lower threshold of 10 per cent and a higher threshold of 25 per cent.

Using available household expenditure data, the calculations include both total household consumption expenditure and out-of-pocket payments made at the point of receiving services for any type of treatment, at any health-care facility, and for any illness or health condition.

Target 3.8 is defined as follows: “Achieve universal health coverage, including financial risk protection, access to quality essential health-care services and access to safe, effective, quality and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all.”In this context, universal health coverage means that all people and communities receive the quality health-care services they need, including medicines and other health products, based on their health needs rather than on a household’s ability to mobilize all its financial resources to meet the health needs of its members.

One way to assess the extent to which health systems cause financial hardship is to calculate the proportion of the population with large household expenditures on health.

Method of Computation

The indicator is calculated using the following formula:

Indicator = [Σᵢ wᵢ × 1 ((household expenditure on health / total household consumption expenditure) > τ)] / Σᵢ wᵢ × 100%

where:

i denotes a household;

1( ) is the indicator function;

wᵢ denotes the household sampling weight multiplied by the household size in order to obtain population-representative estimates; and

τ denotes the threshold used to identify large household expenditures on health as a share of total household consumption expenditure or income, namely 10 per cent or 25 per cent.

The quality of the indicator is ensured through the use of a representative sample in the Integrated Sample Survey of Household Budgets and Labour Force, compliance with the established time frames and survey conditions, and multistage quality control, including checks of questionnaires for completeness and logical consistency.

The time series has been available since 2018.

Расчет показателей осуществляется по областям, городской/сельской местности, полу, возрастным группам, уровню образования, квинтильным группам благосостояния и типу домохозяйства.

The indicator is calculated by region, urban and rural areas, sex, age group, level of education, wealth quintile and household type.
