Which socio-economic groups benefit most from public health expenditure in Senegal? A dynamic benefit incidence analysis.

Despite efforts to enhance public investment in Senegal's health sector, the equitable distribution of benefits between socioeconomic groups remains largely unexplored. To address this gap, our study examines the progressive (or regressive) nature of public health expenditure. Utilizing data from the latest survey on household living conditions (2018-2019) in conjunction with administrative data on health expenditure from the same period (provided by the Ministry of Health of Senegal), we performed a benefit incidence analysis.
