Resumen
Se analiza el efecto del cobro de tarifas por los servicios del Ministerio de Salud del Perú, sobre la equidad del financiamiento en salud. Los ingresos por este concepto alcanzan al 15% del presupuesto del sector, frente a un 7% en promedio en países en desarrollo, y algunos hospitales están obteniendo tantos recursos de cobros directos como del Tesoro Público. Por otro lado, se encuentra que la exoneración del cobro de tarifas no es realizada de acuerdo a criterios que identifiquen adecuadamente a los pobres, que un porcentaje reducido de pobres es exonerado – subcobertura de exoneraciones- y que hay elevados niveles de filtraciones – no pobres resultan exonerados -. Finalmente, un análisis global sobre cómo el cobro de tarifas afecta la distribución del subsidio público por salud, encuentra que éste no tiene efectos progresivos.
The effect of cost recovery in the equity of the services of the Ministry of Health of Peru in health is analyzed. The funds obtained by this way reach 15 % of the health sector budget, which compares with 7% in average in developing countries; some hospitals obtain so much funds from fees charged to the public as from the treasury. It is also found that exemptions of the payment of fees is not given according to standards that adequately identify the poor, that a small percentage of the poor is exempted -undercoverage of exemptions- and that there are high levels of filtrations -non-poor exempted-. Finally, a global analysis shows that fees’ payments do not have a progressive effect over the distribution of the public health subsidy.
