This study aims to assess\u00a0the level of health care utilisation in Timor-Leste and the factors that drive it. The findings show that need was\u00a0the main\u00a0driver in health seeking for both primary care and hospital care. Rural households were less likely to go to hospital in compared to urban households. The poorest quintile was less likely to use hospital services in compared to\u00a0other\u00a0quintile groups. Thus, it can be concluded that\u00a0the public resources for health care are regressive and\u00a0the other costs of health care (e.g., distance barriers) need to be reduced in\u00a0Timor-Leste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Timor-Leste is\u00a0a country in\u00a0Southeast Asia, which adopts\u00a0a tax-based health system with free health care at the point of service.
