Equity of healthcare financing: a progressivity analysis for Egypt

This paper aims to evaluate the progressivity of healthcare financing in Egypt by assessing five financing sources, out-of-pocket payments, an earmarked cigarette tax, direct taxes, indirect taxes, social health insurance and private health insurance. It provides a combined analysis of the equity of the whole financing system based on these financing sources.
The results point towards the need for reform of healthcare financing in Egypt to reduce dependence on out-of-pocket payments to achieve more equitable healthcare financing.
