由于缺乏对初级保健服务的需求分析，阻碍了为这些服务提供资金并使其成为第三世界医疗系统的永久组成部分的努力。本文介绍了成人门诊服务的需求模型，描述了估计成人门诊服务所需的数据类型，并给出了使用菲律宾贫困农村地区的数据进行初步估计的结果。结果表明，在这个样本中，价格和距离并不像规划者通常假设的那样，对需求的决定因素那么重要。似乎有相当大的空间从使用费中为门诊服务提供全部或部分资金。
The absence of demand analysis for primary health care services has hampered efforts to finance these services and to make them permanent parts of Third World medical systems. This paper introduces a demand model for adult outpatient services, describes the types of data required for estimating it, and presents the results of a preliminary estimation using data from a poor rural region of the Philippines. The results indicate that prices and distance are not nearly as important as determinants of demand in this sample as has usually been assumed by planners. There appears to be considerable room for full or partial financing of outpatient services from user fees.
