Incidence and determinants of hysterectomy in a low-income setting in Gujarat, India
Hysterectomy is a leading reason for use of health insurance amongst low-income women in India, but there are limited population-level data available to inform policy. This paper reports on the findings of a mixed-methods study to estimate incidence and identify predictors of hysterectomy in a low-income setting in Gujarat, India. The estimated incidence of hysterectomy, 20.7/1000 woman- years (95% CI: 14.0, 30.8), was considerably higher than re…

However, having voluntarily enrolled in a CBI scheme, poor households may find it difficult or impossible to access s…
