Abstract :The aim of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the studies in the literature on catastrophic health expenditures. For this purpose, a bibliometric analysis of the articles on catastrophic health expenditure indexed in Web of Science (WoS) using VOSviewer (version 1.6.20) was performed. As a result of the analysis, 822 articles were found. The countries, institutions and journals with the highest number of research articles on catastrophic health expenditures are the USA, Peking University and The International Journal for Equity in Health, respectively. The countries most frequently mentioned with the keyword \\\"catastrophic health expenditure\\\" are \\\"China\\\", \\\"India\\\", \\\"Iran\\\", \\\"Nigeria\\\", \\\"Ethiopia\\\" and \\\"Bangladesh\\\", respectively. According to the research findings, it has been observed that studies on catastrophic health expenditures have increased continuously over time. Although the share of out-of-pocket health payments in total health expenditures has been decreasing worldwide in recent years, its share in the income of the population has not decreased. This indicates that catastrophic health expenditures will continue to exist in the future and therefore scientific studies in this field will remain important.Keywords : Katastrofik Sağlık Harcaması, Bibliyometrik Analiz, Evrensel Sağlık Kapsamı, Cepten Ödemeler
