Inequidades socioeconómicas en el uso de servicios sanitarios de atención primaria en Ecuador

Author

Abstract

En América Latina existen escasos estudios sobre desigualdades socioeconómicas en variables de salud y pocos que analizan inequidades en el uso de servicios sanitarios. Este trabajo investiga los determinantes del uso de servicios sanitarios públicos de atención preventiva y curativa de atención primaria, además de la inequidad horizontal mediante el cálculo del índice de inequidad horizontal de la población adulta en Ecuador, utilizando datos del ano 2012. Los resultados muestran que no existe evidencia de inequidad horizontal en el uso de estos servicios. Sin embargo, se encuentra que los grupos indígenas, individuos sin ningún tipo de seguro, sin educación y residentes en la región de la costa urbana muestran una menor probabilidad de uso de ambos tipos de servicios.
