| NHA is a standard set of tables that present various aspects of a nation's health expenditures. NHA encompasses total health spending in a country - including public, private, and donor expenditures. In addition to determining how much each of these entities - public, private and donor are types of expenditures and not necessarily financing sources spend on health, NHA carefully tracks the flow of funds from one health care actor to another, such as the distribution of funds from the Ministry of Health (MoH) to each government health provider and health service. In short, NHA measures the "financial pulse" of national health systems and answers questions such as: 1. Who in the country pays for health care? How much do they spend and on what types of services? 2. How are funds distributed across different health services? 3. Who benefits from health expenditures? The flexibility of the NHA framework also allows for analysis of data on targeted populations or disease-specific activities, such as health expenditures related to maternal and child health or HIV/AIDS and malaria. This session aims topresent subanalysis findings and how capturing specific health expenditures through the NHA methodology allows policy makers to make evidence-based decision making through better knowledge of resource flows and spending patterns. | |||
| Learning Objectives: 1. Describe the key challenges to tracking target populations and disease-specific expenditures as well as the importance of target-populations and disease-specific expenditure analysis to policy makers 2. Describe the impact of resource flows on disease-specific and target population expenditures on other priority health services. 3. Identify the key sources of financing and proportion of national health financing for disease-specific and target population expenditures. | |||
