2020年初爆发的新冠肺炎疫情迫使阿塞拜疆将全国强制性健康保险(MHI)的推出推迟一年。MHI于2017年在三个地区作为试点启动,旨在解决医疗融资方面的根本问题,并作为改善向民众提供医疗服务的一种手段。当疫情爆发时,试点的MHI并没有覆盖该国大部分地区,包括人口超过230万的大巴库地区(该国1000万总人口中)。在重大健康危机期间,由于缺乏医疗保险,大部分民众没有保险,尽管政府确实通过慷慨的财政救济计划提供了临时社会援助。尽管政府于1999年10月通过了《医疗保险法》(Mehtiyev,2021),但MHI直到2021年4月才在全国范围内推出。虽然疫情最初的冲击推迟了MHI的推出,但新冠肺炎也暴露了卫生系统的潜在弱点,促使当局加快MHI的引入。这支持了这样一种观点,即新冠肺炎鼓励了在冠状病毒紧急情况之前已经在进行的渐进式政策变革,而不是为卫生系统的更结构性改革打开了机会之窗(Bali et al.,2022)。在过去几十年中,阿塞拜疆采取措施改革其社会保护和卫生系统。2006年推出的一项精心设计的定向社会援助计划为低收入家庭提供现金转移。由于现金转移和其他社会援助计划,贫困水平从2003年的45%下降到2020年的6%。2019年,政府对社会政策进行了重大改革,扩大了社会保障的覆盖面
期刊介绍:
Global Social Policy is a fully peer-reviewed journal that advances the understanding of the impact of globalisation processes upon social policy and social development on the one hand, and the impact of social policy upon globalisation processes on the other hand. The journal analyses the contributions of a range of national and international actors, both governmental and non-governmental, to global social policy and social development discourse and practice. Global Social Policy publishes scholarly policy-oriented articles and reports that focus on aspects of social policy and social and human development as broadly defined in the context of globalisation be it in contemporary or historical contexts.
