abstract: 'The objective of this study was to determine the major financial
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
barriers that affect people''s access to oral cancer treatment in India.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Barriers researched included not only the direct medical costs, but also
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the direct non-medical costs, such as transportation and lodging, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the indirect cost of missing work or family duties. Four hundred
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
patients from two regions in southern India responded to a 2014 survey
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that asked about access and barriers to care. Traditionally, policies to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increase screening, diagnosis and treatment of oral cancer have focused
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
on affordable or free medical services for low-income groups; however,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the hidden costs associated with receiving care are a significant
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
burden. Transportation, lodging, loss of wages, and time away from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
family duties are key barriers to oral cancer care that policy makers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
should address. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.'
