Do remittances sent by migrants have an impact on their family’s consumption of health care in their country? By easing the budgetary constraint, these transfers should improve access to health care, particularly in systems with low public expenditure on health. However, transfers can be suspected of being endogenous, as the need for care may prompt migrants to send more money. This article examines the issue in the case of Tajikistan, where both high direct health expenditure and high migration dependence are observed. It is based on data from the Tajikistan Living Standards Survey (2007). The results show that transfers have a positive impact which is however heterogeneous according to the level of care consumption.
