Unpaid family care is not considered to be part of national health expenditure. Households and families provide a lot of inputs to health care, through their uncompensated time and effort. For example, family members take time to care for the sick at home or to stay with them in hospital. 3, record 1, English, - family%20care

Le rapport entre les soins familiaux et les soins formels est ainsi décrit : «[...] à la fois interdépendants et irréductibles les uns les autres. Ils constituent deux systèmes autonomes, ce qui les rend non substituables.» Ils obéissent à des logiques fort différentes et s'exercent selon des modèles qui leur sont propres : les soins familiaux sont adaptés, diversifiés, permanents; les soins formels sont normés, universels, définis; les uns relèvent du lien social, de l'échange, du don, de la dette symbolique; les autres relèvent du critère de l'utilité et de l'efficacité économique. 1, record 1, French, - soins%20familiaux

Il faut faire la distinction entre soins familiaux et soins informels. Ces derniers reflétent une réalité plus vaste où les soins sont dispensés par la famille, les amis ou les voisins. 2, record 1, French, - soins%20familiaux
