Report of the SR on the right to health and Agenda 2030 2016, para. 85
Párrafo
Paragraph text
Private, out-of-pocket payments account for about 50 per cent of total health expenditures in countries where more than 50 per cent of the population is living on less than $2 per day. It is actually the poorest and most in need who suffer from such payments. Universal health coverage consistent with the right to health requires establishing a financing system that is equitable and pays special attention to the poor and others unable to pay for health-care services, such as children and adolescents.
