Dear Keti and Mamuka,

Hope you’re doing well!

As Sarah indicated in her email, I’m currently reviewing the report and it would be great if we could have a call next week to discuss some questions and also potential policy messages. Would next Thursday or Friday afternoon work for you?

Have a good weekend,

Triin

Dear Keti and Mamuka

Thanks to you both for updating the analysis to include the 2017 and 2018 data.

In follow up to Jorge’s email, it would be great if we could disaggregate households with catastrophic health spending using socioeconomic factors in addition to household consumption quintiles.

In other countries, we have used:

urban-rural

household structure (eg single person household, household with no children, household with children, household with x children etc)

age / gender of the head of the household

household economic activity or sources of income (eg employed, unemployed, pensioner, social beneficiary etc)

health insurance status (eg with voluntary health insurance or not, type of entitlement to publicly financed health care etc)

You will know what the household budget survey in Georgia permits us to look at.

I also copy Triin, who is currently reviewing the report, in case she has ideas of the types of categories it might be good to capture in Georgia.

When you do the analysis, it is good to produce two types of analysis: a) the breakdown of all households with catastrophic health spending by category and b) the incidence of catastrophic health spending within different categories.

With thanks and best wishes

Sarah

Subject: Georgia FP report: disaggregated analysis for catastrophic spending

Dear Ketevan and Mamuka

As commented before, I have been working with Sarah on updating the FP figures for the Georgia country report. I managed to produce new figures (attached) and we were wondering if you could help
us with something:

Would you be able to produce Fig. 21 (in the excel file) to break down the cata households by socioeconomic variables eg urban rural, age structure, any other variable available? This would
really add value to the analysis and the report. See an example of the intended figure in Fig 19 of
this report for Moldova

Do you have the microdata available? which socioeconomic variables for disaggregation would be available?

Thanks in advance for your answer, have a good day

Jorge Alejandro
