Zambia - National Health Accounts 2013-2016 Estimates

This study measures the level, composition, and flow of funds from all sources (public, private employers and individuals, and external) in the health sector in Zambia over the period 2013-2016. The flow of funds through the health system was tracked from the various institutional units providing the revenues to financing schemes, from financing schemes to financing agents, and all the way to functions or services and goods on which these resources are spent. In other words, the study looks at how much was spent in the health sector, the payers, and how much they paid. In so doing, the main sources and agents in health financing and how the expenditures were spread across different levels of the entire health system were identified. The analysis is split between current expenditures on health and gross capital formation.
