  • Pocket Payments Among General Population and Social Security Beneficiaries in Myanmar Chaw-Yin Myint1,2* , Milena Pavlova1 and Wim Groot1,3
    Myint et al. BMC Health Services Research (2019) 19:258 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12913-019-4071-8 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Patterns of health care use and out-of- pocket payments among general population and social security beneficiaries in Myanmar Chaw-Yin Myint1,2* , Milena Pavlova1 and Wim Groot1,3 Abstract Background: As a consequence of the low government expenditure and limited access to health insurance offered by the Social Security Scheme (SSS), out-of-pocket payments (OOPPs) have become the main source of payment for health care in Myanmar. This study aims to provide evidence on the patterns of health care use and OOPPs by the general population and SSS beneficiaries in Myanmar. Method: Face-to-face interviews were conducted among two samples drawn independently of each other. The first sample, the general population sample of persons not insured by SSS, was drawn from the general population in the Yangon Region. The second sample, the SSS sample, was drawn from those possessing SSS insurance. The data were analyzed per sample. Mann-Whitney U tests were applied to compare ordinal variables and independent sample t-tests were applied to compare continuous variables between the two samples. Two-step cluster analysis was applied to identify clusters of respondents with similar patterns of health care use and OOPPs. After the clustering procedure, we used regression analysis to examine the association between socio-demographic characteristics and cluster membership (patterns of health care use and OOPPs) for the two samples separately. Results: Only 23% of those who belonged to the SSS sample and sought health care during the past 12 months, report receiving health care from a SSS clinic during the last episode of illness.
