dc.description.abstractA key barrier to appropriate health care is the frequent need for households to pay out-of-pocket (OOP) for medical treatment. According to recent research, in many countries in Asia and the Pacific there is a significant incidence of both catastrophic and impoverishing impacts of OOP spending for healthcare. This review is a compilation and assessment of available global evidence on the mechanisms through which Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health (MNCH) care expenditures heighten poverty and affect households. The longer-term consequences of coping strategies, such as taking out loans and selling off assets, have rarely or sufficiently been examined.en
