La afiliación al sistema general de seguridad social en salud en Colombia y su impacto sobre la calidad de vida de la población desde la perspectiva de los determinantes sociales 2013 - 2015

Abstract

The present research work is focused on determining the impact on the quality of life of people of non-affiliation to the General Social Security in Health System (SGSSS) in Colombia carrying out a comparative analysis in the period between 2013-2015. To achieve this objective, the work is carried out through descriptive research, which is methodologically supported by national surveys such as the Large Integrated Household Survey (GEIH) and the National Quality of Life Survey (ECV) prepared by DANE, using as a tool the construction of an econometric model using a LOGIT function that will allow to execute different estimates to evaluate which are the main determinants present in the state of affiliation to the SGSSS according to the regime. The interest of modeling the logistics of affiliation to the SGSSS is to know the importance of determining variables and from these modelling to define whether non-affiliation to the SGSSS as a social determinant impacts on the quality of life of the Colombian population. The results show that over time, health coverage has increased for the entire population, as well as the level of services provided, concluding that affiliation in the health system has a positive relationship with the welfare of households, since it allows them to access medical services that improve their health conditions and therefore their quality of life.
