Abstract: This study aims to estimate and analyze the impact of the determinants of health care access and consumption in Tunisia. The estimation is made using two models: the “Heckman selection model” and the “Two-part model”, using a representative sample of 25091 households from the National households’ survey of budget, consumption and living standards in 2015. Similar results were obtained for both models. Access to health care and Out-of-pocket health expenditure increase with the household’s standard of living. They increase also for individuals with chronic disease and for those with disabilities, for households with children under five years and in rural areas. Out-of-pocket health expenditure increases for elderly and decreases with health insurance coverage.
