Health as a Social Goal : Interview with Timothy Evans .

By Shiri Qurian

Can the health sector influence poverty? If so, how? What policy measures
should be avoided in order to reduce poverty?

 The health sector has multiple influences on poverty and well-being. The
predominant form of financing health care is out-of-pocket payments and
point of services which is the most regressive form of financing health
care. We know that about 100 million people worldwide are impoverished
annually due to this form of health care. That’s just looking at direct
cost. Indirect costs relate to loss of income due to loss of work and added
transport costs. .. SNIP
