abstract: 'BackgroundThe continuing impetus for universal health coverage has given
|
||||
|
||||
rise to publicly funded health insurance schemes in lower-middle income
|
||||
|
||||
countries. However, there is insufficient understanding of how universal
|
||||
|
||||
health coverage schemes impact gender equality and equity. This paper
|
||||
|
||||
attempts to understand why utilization of a publicly funded health
|
||||
|
||||
insurance scheme has been found to be lower among women compared to men
|
||||
|
||||
in a southern Indian state. It aims to identify the gender barriers
|
||||
|
||||
across various social institutions that thwart the policy objectives of
|
||||
|
||||
providing financial protection and improved access to inpatient care for
|
||||
|
||||
women.MethodsA qualitative study on the Chief Minister''s Comprehensive
|
||||
|
||||
Health Insurance Scheme was carried out in urban and rural impoverished
|
||||
|
||||
localities in Tamil Nadu, a southern state in India. Thirty-three women
|
||||
|
||||
and 16 men who had a recent history of hospitalization and 14
|
||||
|
||||
stakeholders were purposefully interviewed. Transcribed interviews were
|
||||
|
||||
content analyzed based on Naila Kabeer''s Social Relations Framework
|
||||
|
||||
using gender as an analytical category.ResultsWhile unpacking the
|
||||
|
||||
navigation pathways of women to utilize publicly funded health insurance
|
||||
|
||||
to access inpatient care, gender barriers are found operating at the
|
||||
|
||||
household, community, and programmatic levels. Unpaid care work,
|
||||
|
||||
financial dependence, mobility constraints, and gender norms emerged as
|
||||
|
||||
the major gender-specific barriers arising from the household.
|
||||
|
||||
Exclusions from insurance enrollment activities at the community level
|
||||
|
||||
were mediated by a variety of social inequities. Market ideologies in
|
||||
|
||||
insurance and health, combined with poor governance by State, resulted
|
||||
|
||||
in out-of-pocket health expenditures, acute information asymmetry,
|
||||
|
||||
selective availability of care, and poor acceptability. These gender
|
||||
|
||||
barriers were found to be mediated by all four institutions-household,
|
||||
|
||||
community, market, and State-resulting in lower utilization of the
|
||||
|
||||
scheme by women.ConclusionsHealth policies which aim to provide
|
||||
|
||||
financial protection and improve access to healthcare services need to
|
||||
|
||||
address gender as a crucial social determinant. A gender-blind health
|
||||
|
||||
insurance can not only leave many pre-existing gender barriers
|
||||
|
||||
unaddressed but also accentuate others. This paper stresses that
|
||||
|
||||
universal health coverage policy and programs need to have an explicit
|
||||
|
||||
focus on gender and other social determinants to promote access and
|
||||
|
||||
equity.'
