Payment Methods and Coping Strategies for Health Care Costs by Patients with Chronic Diseases in a Low-Middle Income Country.
Most patients with chronic diseases rely on out-of-pocket payments for healthcare expenditures including patients with health insurance coverage. This has necessitated households to adopt coping strategies, found to be economically distressing, to source funds for healthcare needs. Targeted programmes are needed for patients with chronic diseases to enhance financial risk protection.
