Abstract

We attempt a gendered inspection of sex differentials in care following stroke in India using data from two rounds of NSSO. While almost all men and women receive allopathic care, a higher percentage of women (51.8%) were treated in public hospitals compared to men (32.6%) in 2014 and 2017–18 (45.8% vs 41.4%). Men were preponderantly treated in private hospitals (67.4%) compared to women (48.2%) in 2014 and 2017–18 (58.6% vs 54.2%). We provide evidence that for rehabilitation, at the highest decile for expenditure, men spend more than women. This preliminary exploration is indicative of a gendered dimension in care-seeking for stroke.

摘要

我们尝试使用来自两轮 NSSO 的数据对印度中风后护理中的性别差异进行性别检查。虽然几乎所有男性和女性都接受对抗疗法治疗，但在 2014 年和 2017-18 年（45.8% 对 41.4%），公立医院接受治疗的女性比例（51.8%）高于男性（32.6%）。在 2014 年和 2017-18 年（58.6% 对 54.2%），男性主要在私立医院接受治疗（67.4%），而女性（48.2%）则占优势。我们提供的证据表明，在最高十分位数的支出中，男性的康复支出比女性多。这一初步探索表明了中风就医中的性别维度。
