dc.description.abstractWomen and children are inadequately covered by basic healthcare services. This analysis of the Lao Expenditure and Consumption Survey reveals significant inequalities in the use of, and access to basic healthcare services, with travel and cost being the most significant barriers. The Lao PDR should focus on expanding service delivery networks in rural areas to give more families ready access to healthcare facilities, and on reducing the costs of obtaining treatment at public facilities.en
