This peer review journal article published in 2023 analyses catastrophic health expenditures and effects on household impoverishment in Togo.

The government adopted a law in 2021 establishing universal health insurance, with the expectation that health insurance will help reduce the incidence of catastrophic health spending and improve equity.
