Inequalities in Healthcare Spending on Curative Services: Evidence from Burkina Faso

How public and overall health spending on curative health services have become more egalitarian as Universal Health Coverage (UHC) policies have been rolled out in Burkina Faso? Over time, increased equality in the distribution of benefits is seen for both public and overall health spending, the former being pro-poor across levels of care and the latter being pro-poor for outpatient services only.  Regional differences in distribution of public and overall benefits persist, but become considerably smaller over time. Further action is needed to tackle persisting causes of inequality and reduce regional differences.
