Notes: This table reports the determinants of seeking any healthcare (first column), seeking formal healthcare (second column) and the choice of healthcare provider (the last four columns) conditional on the incidence of illness. The first two columns are based on logit models and the last four columns on a multinominal logit model. All models include control variables for region (city). P-values are in parentheses.
