Towards a satellite account for health - Household's time use on health care

Pakistan's labor force survey provides information on the time use on several activities of private households. in this article we analyse the time used by private households on health care for two reasons. first,with help of this information we are able to describe the nonmarket production of health care of own family members by households in monetary terms. secondly,in some cases the health care is carried out against pay to other households,so that the service becomes a market production and has to be included in national health accounts (nha) according to the system of health accounts (sha).
