Coding rules
This indicator takes the value 1 = "Yes" for the year of introduction of a healthcare system under public responsibility. For all other years, the indicator is set to 0 = "No". A healthcare system under public responsibility is introduced when (a) the first public healthcare initiative is established by a national legislative body, (b) the elements of the healthcare system are integrated, and (c) entitlements to healthcare benefits are enacted (de Carvalho & Fischer, 2020, p. 13). The first point in time in which the three necessary conditions are fulfilled is considered the beginning of the healthcare system under public responsibility.
