Abstract:

This study aimed to investigatechanges in the pattern of health service use, based on informationthe editions of the National Health Survey (PNS), 2013 and 2019. The two outcomes “Seeking health-related care in the past two weeks \"and\" Medical consultation in the last twelve months\" were analyzed according to socioeconomic and geographic characteristics, and health conditions. Multivariate Poisson regression models were used to investigate the factors associated with seeking health care due to a health problem or for prevention. Between 2013 and 2019, the prevalence of chronic diseases increased15.0% to 22.5%. The proportion of seeking care increased15.3 to 18.6%, and the use of medical consultation,71.2% to 76.2%, and ranged61.4 to 75.8% and 68.0 to 80.6% between the North and Southeast regions. As to seeking care due to a health problem, there was no significant association with per capita income, after controlling for the other covariates. We conclude that despite the expansion in the coverage of health service use, the persistent regional inequalities indicate unmet health needs among residents of the less developed regions. Health care models focused on prevention and health promotion are needed.
