The National Health Accounts Framework (NHAF) has become an important tool to capture the flow of resources through the health system by their sources, their intermediaries, and their beneficiaries. These are critical for the development of policies to enhance the performance of country’s health systems. As part of a large informal consortium of partners, World Health Organization (WHO) is actively supporting the development and propagation of NHA across countries around the world. In support of this, the WHO has launched the a website on National Health Accounts (NHA).
The site which is the result of extensive inputs from all WHO Regional Offices and headquarters is intended to be a site for policy-makers and technicians wishing to seek and share information about NHA. Policy-makers can learn more about the benefits of NHA and how it can be used as a tool in health policy formulation. Technicians can learn more about how to produce NHA and how to obtain advice from the Expert group. Anyone with an interest in health expenditure information can benefit from the country information (databases, focal points etc.) as well as the NHA documents and links to other NHA sites or have a look at NHA events. It is a one-stop web site linking to all other work on NHA that could be identified.
