About this listen
Chronic respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma are on the rise in many countries, including low-income and middle-income countries such as Kenya that also have a sizeable burden of tuberculosis.
What does this mean for patients in terms of the affordability of potentially long-term management? How are government-run social health insurance schemes working for individuals and their families? And what might be the individual-level drivers of catastrophic levels of out-of-pocket health expenditure in this population?
Listen to first author Dr Stephen Mulupi and corresponding author Dr Tom Wingfield discuss the nuances of their cross-sectional survey in public health-care facilities in Meru County, Kenya and what they mean for government policy going forward.
