Informal payments
|
A monetary or in-kind transaction between a patient and a staff member for services that are officially free of charge in the state sector. It is common in many transitional and developing countries. Informal payments are often claimed to reduce access to health services, especially among the poorest. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12385850)
