Universal Health Coverage in Countries Across East and Southeast Asia – Associations Between Health Expenditure and Service Provision

Abstract

discrete choice data was used. The comparison between the models was performed using the criteria of logical consistency, goodness of fit, and parsimony. Results: From 1056 participants who completed the interview, 2 met criteria that excluded them from the primary analyses. The characteristics of remaining 1054 respondents were very similar to those of the Indonesian population. Descriptive analysis showed that anxiety/depression and pain/discomfort are the two dimensions with most reported health problems. In the value set, values are ranged from -0.8506 for health state 55555 to 0,9426 for health state 11112. Mobility dimension affects most quality of life utility values, while Pain and Discomfort the least. Comparisons with healthy states values in other countries, and associations with demographic characteristics will be presented. ConClusions: This is the first value set of the EQ-5D-5L for Indonesia, and Indonesian preference on health states. We expect our survey to promote and facilitate research on health economic evaluations in Indonesia.

The roles of economic growth and health expenditure on CO2 emissions in selected Asian countries: a quantile regression model approach

“…China, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, and South Korea have reached over 95% health coverage. Indonesia started to launch the UHC program in 2014 to achieve UHC within 5 years (Evans et al 2016 ). During the post-Soviet period, there exists some increase in health expenditure in Central Asia also.…”

The Use of Extended Curettage with Freezing Nitrogen Ethanol Composite for Giant Cell Tumor of Bone: A Case Report

“…FNEC has been found to have comparable local recurrence rates to phenol, argon beam, and liquid nitrogen while mitigating the risks. [5][6][7][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Orthopedic oncologists in Taipei Veterans General Hospital developed this semi-solid composite of liquid nitrogen and 95% ethanol, with the same cryogenic action as liquid nitrogen. FNEC exists at a temperature range of -114°C to -122°C, which induces bone tumor necrosis while having fewer complications.…”

“…Physical therapy sessions were initiated three times a week for the first month, and implant costs remain prohibitive. 9,11,19,20 This novel procedure mitigates such limitations as it preserves bone and allows for the use of more affordable standard orthopedic implants such as plates, screws, and primary hip and knee prostheses, which are subsidized by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office's Medical Access Program. 20 Intralesional excision consists of mechanical curettage typically followed by a high-speed burr.…”

“…While more readily available, H 2 O 2 and EtOH are seldom used alone as adjuvants due to the paucity of evidencebased publications. [5][6][7][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] One such paper has reported a local recurrence rate as high as 41% for H 2 O 2 when administered as the definitive adjuvant following intralesional curettage. 18 The thermoelectric adjuvant argon beam exposure has replaced phenol due to its relative ease of application as a thermoelectric adjuvant to coagulate proteins in tumor cells.…”
