When Health Care Insurance Does Not Make A Difference â€“ The Case of Health Care â€˜Made in China'

Does medical insurance affect health care demand and in the end contribute to improvements in the health status? Evidence for China for the year 2004, by means of the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS), shows that health insurance does not affect health care demand in a significant manner. Counterfactuals suggest that full insurance coverage of the Chinese population will not radically change the health care decisions and may even enlarge the perverse effects of todayâ€™s health care system: insured persons are more likely to fall back on self-care when they are injured or ill than on the care of a local clinic.

Who carries the Burden of Reproductive Health and AIDS Programs? Evidence from OECD Donor Countries

This paper, entitled â€œWho carries the Burden of Reproductive Health and AIDS Programs? Evidence from OECD Donor Countriesâ€ attempts to establish exactly who carries the burden in supporting reproductive health and AIDS programs worldwide. The 1994 International Conference of Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo established goals for the expansion of assistance in matters of reproductive health and AIDS. This global effort has so far not sufficiently been supported by funds and this paper looks at what lies behind the level of funds and the sharing of financial burdens.

State of World Population Report 2004 (SWOP) - UNFPA

The 2004 SWOP report was launched by UNFPA in September 2004. It is titled â€œThe Cairo Consensus at Ten: Population, Reproductive Health and the Global Effort to End Povertyâ€. The 2004 SWOP report examines the progress countries have made in implementing the Cairo agenda, the obstacles they have encountered and the needs that remain unmet. The report states that despite many major accomplishments, the most disappointing conclusion is the lack of resources necessary to achieve the ICPD and Millennium Development Goals.
