Health spending pushed 55 million Indians into poverty in a year: Study

研究表明：印度每年有5500万人因病致贫

About 55 million Indians were pushed into poverty in a single year because of having to fund their own healthcare and 38 million of them fell below the poverty line due to spending on medicines alone, a study by three experts from the Public Health Foundation of India has estimated.

据印度公共卫生基金会的三名专家的研究显示，因为必须自己承担医疗费用，每年都约有5500万印度人陷入贫困境遇，其中有3800万印度人仅仅为了买药就跌落至贫困线下。

The study, published in the British Medical Journal, reveals that non-communicable diseases like cancer, heart diseases and diabetes account for the largest chunk of spending by households on health. The study concluded that among non-communicable diseases, cancer had the highest probability of resulting in “catastrophic expenditure” for a household.

这项发表在《英国医学杂志》上的研究显示，癌症、心脏病和糖尿病等非传染性疾病在印度家庭健康方面的支出占比最大。研究得出的结论是，在非传染性疾病中，癌症是最导致家庭“灾难性支出”的原因。

Health expenditure is considered to be catastrophic if it constitutes 10% or more of overall consumption expenditure of a household. In the case of road traffic and non-road traffic injuries, it was found that catastrophic expenditure was higher among the poorest, with average stay in hospital beyond seven days.

如果医疗支出占到家庭总消费支出的10%或以上，就被认为是灾难性的。研究发现，在遭遇道路交通和非道路交通导致的受伤时，最贫困人群的灾难性支出更高，平均住院时间超过7天。

Data from nationwide consumer expenditure surveys spanning two decades from 1993-94 up to 2011-12 and the ‘Social Consumption: Health’ survey done by the National Sample Survey Organisation in 2014 were analysed by the study authors including health economists Sakthivel Selvaraj and Habib Hasan Farooqui.

这项研究报告的作者包括健康经济学家萨克蒂韦尔•塞尔瓦拉杰和哈比卜•哈桑•法鲁基，他们分析了从1993-1994年度至2011-2012年度的20年间的全国消费者支出的调查数据，以及2014年国家抽样调查组织所做的《社会消费：健康》调查报告。

While the study looks at data up to 2011-12, it refers to measures taken by the government since then to reduce the expenditure burden on medicines and healthcare on households.

该研究分析了截止2011-12年度的数据，参考了政服自那时起为减轻家庭的医药和医疗支出负担而采取的措施。

It noted that though the Drug Price Control Order 2013 brought all essential drugs in the National List of Essential Medicines under price control, these constituted just 20% of the retail pharmacy market and that the sales volume of many of the drugs brought under price control has fallen.

报告指出，尽管《2013年药品价格管制令》将所有基本药物列入国家基本药物价格管制清单，但这些药物仅占零售药店市场的20%，许多被列入价格管制清单的药物的销量出现下滑。

Despite governments launching several health insurance schemes, a majority of the population continued to incur significant expenditure on medicines as hospitalisationbased treatment, which is what most insurance schemes cover, constitutes only one third of India’s morbidity burden, noted the study.

该研究指出，尽管政服推出了几项医疗保险计划，但因为大多数医疗保险计划涵盖的住院治疗只占印度发病率负担的三分之一，大多数印度人仍需在药品上花费大量资金。

It added that frequency of hospitalisation was smaller than outpatient visits in general, especially for NCDs, which are chronic in nature requiring multiple consultations and long-term or lifelong medication and support.

报告还称，住院次数总体上比门诊就诊次数要少，尤其在非传染性疾病方面。非传染性疾病是一种慢性疾病，需要多次就诊，进行长期或终生的药物治疗和维持。

With shrinking availability of free drugs in the government health system for outpatients and a sharper decline in their availability for inpatients, there was little incentive for patients to seek public healthcare, noted the study, adding that medicine-related expenditure for households remained high as most patients sought outpatient care in the more expensive private sector.

门诊病人在政服医疗系统中的越来越难获得免费药物，住院病人获得免费药物的几率也大幅降低，病人就不愿意去公共医疗机构看病。研究指出，因大多数病人前往价格昂贵的私人医疗机构看诊，导致了印度家庭在医疗相关的支出占比仍较高。

As for the government's promise to provide cheap medicines through Jan Aushadhi stores, though the target of opening over 3,000 stores has been met, they have been plagued with frequent stockouts and quality issues.

至于政服承诺通过Jan Aushadhi商店提供廉价药品，尽管开设3000多个网点的目标已经实现，但他们一直饱受经常性缺货和质量问题的诟病。

Most Jan Aushadhi stores have barely 100-150 formulations instead of the promised 600-plus medicines and their numbers are too small compared to the 5.5 lakh plus pharmacies in India.

大多数Jan Aushadhi商店只有100-150种处方药，远比之前承诺的600多种药物少，而且相较于印度55万家药房相比，他们的数量实在太少了。

Government after Government have failed to bring affordable medical care to common people. People are struggling to get medical care even if it is beyond their reach.Due to pollution, stressful life, health issues are multiplying at a rapid pace. It is such a vicious cycle. I feel so bad sometimes, are we failing as a country.

政服没能给老百姓带来负担得起的医疗服务。人们正在努力争取医疗护理，即使这是他们无法负担得起的。由于污染、紧张的生活，健康问题飞速增长。这是一个恶性循环。我有时感到很难过，印度居然这么失败?

BJP govt has earned the unique distinction of creating mass poverty due to lack of employment, demonetisation, high cost hospital admissions, messing with economy, wasting money earned from global petrol cost reduction, not managing inflation, allowing large-scale bank loot, allowing loan waivers, spending frivolously on statues and bullet train.

印度人民党政服在造就大规模贫困方面的独特之处在于：失业率高企、废钞令、高昂的住院费用、扰乱经济、浪费全球汽油成本降低而获得的收益、对通货膨胀不闻不问、允许大规模银行抢劫、允许贷款减免、为雕像和动车一掷千金。

2014年的一项调查显示，有2.6亿人生活在贫困线下。
