Description
Khaled Shaeel Althabaiti, Monica Hunsberger, Sayem Ahmed, and Jahangir Khan break down income inequality in outpatient care use in Saudi Arabia. Their study was published in twenty twenty-six. The kingdom runs a dual system of government coverage and private insurance, and how use splits by income was little mapped.
Data came from a twenty eighteen national family health survey of over eight thousand adults. Care use in the past year was scored as yes or no. A standard index measured how use tilts by income rank. The team then split the inequality into shares owed to health need and to factors beyond need, such as coverage type. The split tells reformers which part of the gap policy could fairly close.
