Improving the value derived by patients from out-of-pocket expenditures on health

The webinar is a joint Lancet Citizens’ Commission on Reimagining India’s Health System event with the Population Foundation of India (PFI). While this number varies from state to state, between 50-70% of all expenditures are incurred by Indians from their own pockets when they seek healthcare services. A long-term durable solution to this problem requires state governments to increase their budgetary allocations and improve the efficiency with which these amounts are spent. For the foreseeable future, however, improving the value derived by patients from out-of-pocket expenditures will need to be a key area of focus for the Indian health system. In this panel, we hope to explore how this could best be accomplished. As a Citizens’ Commission, we invite the public to participate in the discussion, provide input and engage with the panelists.
