![]() ![]() For Thailand, the poorest level of access appears to be for respondents who work within the household whereas in Taiwan, part-time work is associated with difficulties in access. Country specific indicators were also identified. ![]() Four variables related to difficulties in access to healthcare (distance, appointment, waiting time, and cost) were analysed using binomial logistic regression to identify socio- and demographic predictors of inequity.Ĭonsistent across the findings, poor health and low income were identified as difficulties in access. ![]() Data were collected in each country between 20. This paper is a secondary analysis of these existing data. The aim of this manuscript is to highlight disparities and differences in terms of the factors that distinguish between poor and good access to healthcare across six Asia-Pacific countries: Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand.Ī population survey was undertaken in each country. A recent World Health Organization report stated that there is a need for research and policy to address the critical role of health services in reducing inequities and preventing future inequities. Evidence suggests that there is a link between inequitable access to healthcare and inequitable distribution of illness. ![]()
