Abstract
The cost of healthcare services has become a significant concern worldwide, with particular emphasis on understanding its impact on patients. This article presents a comprehensive review and analysis of the cost of treatment in Kerala based on some studies conducted in the state. Through a systematic examination of various studies, this review aims to shed light on the current state of healthcare expenses in Kerala and provide valuable insights into the factors influencing treatment costs. By collating data from diverse sources, this study offers a comprehensive perspective on the financial aspects of healthcare in Kerala. Findings from the review reveal significant variations in treatment costs across different healthcare facilities and regions within Kerala. Factors such as the type of treatment, type of disease, healthcare infrastructure, medical technology, and geographical location were found to be influential determinants of cost disparities. Furthermore, the review underscores the impact of socioeconomic factors, such as income levels, insurance coverage, and affordability, on patients' ability to access and afford necessary healthcare services. These findings emphasise the need for targeted interventions to address financial barriers and ensure equitable healthcare access in Kerala. This review analysis provides healthcare policymakers, practitioners, and researchers with valuable insights into the cost dynamics of treatment in Kerala. By understanding the factors influencing treatment costs, stakeholders can make informed decisions to enhance the affordability, efficiency, and quality of healthcare services in the state. Through this review analysis, it also aims to highlight the need for further research and policy initiatives to address the challenges associated with healthcare affordability and accessibility in the region, ultimately aiming to improve the overall well-being of the population.
