This indicator provides the social groups that are entitled to access emergency care services by legislative texts. The indicator establishes an independent category due to the specificity of the services which cannot be emcompassed in the mentioned categories of the ILO Convention.
Coding rules
The variable is coded separately from the subsections provided in the Art.13 of the Medical Care and Sickness Benefits Convention (1969) of the International Labor Organization –ILO–, since the emergency care cannot be encompassed within the mentioned categories. Therefore, this indicator is defined as emergency care and includes the code with the same title.
The code emergency care (310) refers to any imminent treatment necessary due to a medical emergency.
Note: The inclusion of accidents into the benefit package does not necessarily mean emergency care. It can also refer to the cause of illness. I.e., medical care is provided, when the cause of the illness is a (work) accident. Insurance systems tend to include such a reference to organize the responsibilities of health insurance vis-à-vis the accident insurance scheme.
