| Résumé : |
Georgia has been expanding the package of publicly funded benefits and increasing public spending on health since 2013 in an effort to provide universal health coverage (UHC), although public spending on health is still low in international terms (3.1% of GDP in 2022).
The share of health spending paid for out-of-pocket fell dramatically, from over 80% in 2011 to some 30% in 2022, but coverage policy is complex and there are substantial co-payments. The high cost of outpatient medicines has been the main barrier to access for those on low-incomes. This was a target for policy action and the cost of over 7000 medicines has been capped. Recent reforms have set co-payment limits or thresholds for inpatient care for specific groups, improving financial protection and offering clarity on what patients should pay. |
