COVID-19 puts emerging market health resilience in spotlight / Fernando Casanova Aizpún, Viola Wang. — Zurich : Swiss Re Institute, 2020

2 p. . — (Economic insights ; 22)

Sumario: The COVID-19 experience has exposed emerging markets' enduring challenge of insufficient health infrastructure. Public health spend undershoots the World Health Organization's (WHO) target of 5% of GDP, while out-of-pocket expenditure represents more than 40% of all healthcare spending, leaving households vulnerable to financial stress. Insurance can play a central role in alleviating this stress and help narrow the emerging market health protection gap of around USD 420 billion
