Abstract

En este artículo se evalúan los efectos fiscales y macroeconómicos de algunos riesgos que enfrenta el sistema de salud como los cambios en los patrones demográficos y de morbilidad, las nuevas tecnologías médicas, las ineficiencias en el sistema y la estructura del mercado laboral. Estos factores representan un desafío para la sostenibilidad fiscal del sistema de salud, ya que requieren un aumento de los recursos públicos y fuentes permanentes de financiamiento. El análisis se realiza utilizando un Modelo de Equilibrio General Computable (MEGC). Según el estudio, se estima que en 2030 se requerirá un 1,91% adicional del PIB en recursos públicos en comparación con 2022. Sin embargo, si el país logra aumentar el crecimiento económico y la formalización laboral se podrían reducir las presiones fiscales. Mejorar la eficiencia en el uso de los recursos disponibles y aumentar la productividad también contribuirían a reducir la necesidad de recursos fiscales y mejorar el bienestar de la población. **** Abstract: This paper evaluates the fiscal and macroeconomic effects of some risks faced by the health system. These comprise changes in demographic and morbidity patterns, new medical technologies, inefficiencies in the system and the structure of the labor market. These factors represent a challenge for the fiscal sustainability of the health system since they require an increase in public resources and permanent sources of financing. The analysis is carried out using a Computable General Equilibrium Model (CGEM). According to the study, it is estimated that in 2030 an additional 1.91% of GDP will be required in public resources compared to 2022. However, if the country can increase economic growth and labor formalization, fiscal pressures could be reduced. Improving efficiency in the use of available resources and increasing productivity would also contribute to reducing the need for fiscal resources and improving the well-being of the population.
