Health financing and social protection remains key elements of the health system in particular,and health development in general in the African region. Appropriate health financing and social protection mechanisms will improve access to services and enable countries to achieve the targets set out in both international and African member states commitments to the agreed objectives such as the Millennium Developments Goals (MDG) and Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
For countries to define appropriate policies to finance health care it is imperative to know — the institutions or mechanisms that finance health care; — the institutions that obtain and administer resources to pay; — the entities that receive money in order to produce the required health care goods and services; and services and products purchased with health care funds.
This Health Financing Atlas has used summarized data from countries’ National Health Account reports to show the health financing profile for each country. The Atlas presents key indicators, such as general government health expenditure as a share of gross domestic product, total health expenditure per capita,out-of-pocket payments as a share of total health expenditure, the extent to which countries are meeting or falling short of the Abuja target, and how some of these are linked to life expectancy and the maternal mortality ratio. These indicators help to inform policy-making and guide priority setting when developing national health strategies and operational plans.
The publication shows that there has been progress made in the mobilisation of government resources over the past decade, but that households are still exposed to impoverishment as a result of catastrophic health expenditures. African countries should therefore start thinking critically about the alternative and innovative financing mechanisms needed in order to further increase the public funding for health and reduce financial barriers to accessing health services. This is critical for achieving MDGs and UHC.
I call upon Ministries of Health and Ministries of Financing to analyse the findings of their National Health Accounts and utilize those results to take appropriate decisions to ensure that health resources are used efficiently and to the benefit of the people who need them most.
I would appreciate your suggestions for improving future editions of the WHO African Region Health Expenditure Atlas.
I thank you.

GGHE as a share of gross domestic product (GDP): A study of 185 countries showed that GGHE as a share of GDP increased with a country’s income. Evidence further shows that when government expenditure on health is greater than 5–6% of GDP, fewer households have financial hardship in paying for the health services they need. We assessed the level of government health expenditure against the level of GDP in the African Region from 2002 to 2012.
The data shows that there is progress in mobilization of government resources over the past ten years. In 2002, no African country had GGHE as a share of gross domestic product (GDP) that was more than 5%, but by 2007, four countries had achieved this target and this number had increased to 7 by 2012 (See Figure 1). One of the challenges is that many African countries have limited capacities to raise public revenues including payroll tax collections for social health insurance mainly because of the large informal sector. The performance, accountability and administration of the tax system are often additional problems for many countries.
Efforts to restructure the informal sector should be increased in order to mobilize more public revenues from taxes, since better public sector funding will facilitate the increase of resources for health and more specifically, enable countries to meet the target of 5% of GGHE as a percent of GDP. In addition, the rising economic growth in Africa is an opportunity; Africa’s economy grew by 4.8% in 2013 and is projected to grow by 5.3% in 2014. That provides an opportunity for increased government spending on health by African governments, spurred by the results achieved by African countries already engaged in mobilizing more money for health.

Total health expenditure per capita: The High Level Taskforce on Innovative International Financing for Health Systems (HLTF) estimated that by 2009 a low income country needed to spend on average US$ 44 per capita to strengthen its health system and to provide an essential package of health services. In the table below, we categorized countries in three groups based on spending: less than US$ 20, US$ 20–US$ 44 and more than US$ 44.
Figure 2: Africa Region - Total expenditure on health/capita at exchange rate in 2002, 2007 and 2012
Policy Highlight 2: Availability and Efficient use of resources
2002 2007 2012
Figure 2 shows that countries in the African region have made good progress in increasing the per capita expenditure on health; whereas in 2002 only 11 countries were spending US$44 on health per capita, the number rose to 21 and 26 respectively in 2007 and 2012.
However,, although several countries have an average expenditure of health of more than 44 $US per capita, their health indicators are not showing improvement; this requires an analysis on how efficiently they are using the available resource in addition to the prioritization of high impact interventions. If resources are spent more on large investments and supply, the impact on health will be less. Furthermore, 17 out of 45 countries have three indicators that are below the target recommended such as THE per capita>US$44; GGHE/GGE>15% and GGHE as % GDP>5% (see figure n°4); these countries should make a considerable effort to increase their budget for health.
Additional to the per capita expenditure mentioned above, there is scope for governments to allocate more money for health from domestic sources. In this regard, the 2001 Abuja Declaration urging African Union states to allocate “at least 15%” of national budgets to the health sector was a landmark. Unfortunately this target had been achieved by only six countries by 2012 as shown in Table 1. It is important to note, however, that allocations to the health sector as a percentage of total government budget ranged from

Foreword Policy highlights WHO African country profile 2012 Technical documentation
6% to 22% in 2012 in the African Region. It is logical to consider the Abuja Declaration target together with the recommendation of the HLTF of reaching US$ 44 per capita THE. Over one third of the countries in the African Region have not managed to raise health spending to the level of US$ 44. Only Liberia, Rwanda Swaziland and Zambia have managed to meet both the Abuja and the HLTF targets as shown in Table 1.

Table 1: THE against GGHE/GGE
In the future, with Africa still on a projected path of rising economic growth, the focus should turn to how the economic expansion will affect availability of funds for health. Will health expenditure grow faster, slower or at the same pace as per capita income? The answer to this question will necessarily vary from country to country, but as there are most probably going to be “push” factors, such as the rise in non-communicable diseases or in the ageing population, and “pull” factors, such as investment growth in high technology that will be similar to high income countries elsewhere, it is probable that many African countries will follow the same pattern of “excess growth” (health spending outpacing economic growth) that has been observed in high income countries. Looking at the very low levels of per capita spending and of total health expenditure as a share of GDP in most African countries an increase in health expenditure would be a welcome outcome in most countries. However it should not turn away focus on strategic purchasing especially given the likelihood of the “push”and “pull”factors above.

Policy Highlight 3: Financial barriers to accessing health servicesOut-of-pocket payments as a share of total health expenditure: Evidence shows that catastrophic health expenditure and impoverishment remain low in countries where out-of-pocket expenditure is less than 20% of the total health expenditure. In addition, few households are shown to be impoverished where out-of-pocket expenditure is less than 20% of the total health expenditure.In the African Region, only 10 countries out of 47 have an out-of-pocket (OOP) health expenditure as a percent of THE that was less than 20% in 2012.
Figure 3: Out of pocket expenditure as % of THE in 2012
8 WHO African Region Expenditure Atlas
Foreword Policy highlights WHO African country profile 2012 Technical documentation
Twenty one (21) countries out of 47 have OOP that is more than 40% of THE, which presumes that households are exposed to impoverishment caused by catastrophic health expenditure. Reducing financial barriers to accessing health services when needed is one of the top goals of Universal Health Coverage. In order to improve financial risk protection and expand population coverage, WHO/AFRO and AUC have proposed to countries to:
(a) Develop comprehensive /improve policies and strategies for health financing to realize aggregate increase in funds for health and to enhance the quality of services and efficient utilization of funds to reduce out-of-pocket payments, at least for vulnerable populations and priority services.
(b) Promote prepayment mechanisms to cover the whole population and introduce prepayment and pooling arrangements that share financial risks across the whole population. This includes mobilization of more resources for health through government revenues, tax funding and/or mandatory (i.e. social or national) health insurance premiums and/or subsidies.
(c) Implement public equity funds to cover the health costs of people who are not able to contribute.
GGHE as a percentof GDP, the THE per capita and Abuja target: Considering the three indicators such as GGHE as a percent of GDP > 5%, the THE per capita > 44 $US and the Abuja target of at least 15% of the national budget allocated to health sector, only 3 countries (Liberia, Rwanda and Swaziland) out of 45 archived the three indicators in 2012. If we add the fourth indicator of out-of-pocket payments as a share of total health expenditure less than 20%, only Swaziland met these four indicators in 2012.

9WHO African Region Expenditure Atlas
This WHO African Region Expenditure Atlas shows how the limited availability of financial resources does not enable the countries to provide the quantity and quality of services needed and to subsidize some categories of the population and or interventions. Continuous evidence-based dialogue and collaboration between ministries of health and finance in development of plans and health financing strategies, mobilization and allocation of resources for the health sector, accountability and financial management is crucial as recommended in the Tunis declaration.

For per capita expenditure indicators, when the value is less than 0.5 it is represented as <1. In countries where the fiscal year begins in July, expenditure data have been allocated to the later calendar year (for example, 2000 data will cover the fiscal year 1999–2000). Care needs to be taken in interpreting external resource figures. Most are taken from the OECD DAC/CRS database except where a reliable full national health account study has been done. They are disbursements to recipient countries as reported by donors, lagged one year to account for the delay between disbursement and expenditure.

For per capita expenditure indicators, when the value is less than 0.5 it is represented as <1. In countries where the fiscal year begins in July, expenditure data have been allocated to the later calendar year (for example, 2000 data will cover the fiscal year 1999–2000). Care needs to be taken in interpreting external resource figures. Most are taken from the OECD DAC/CRS database except where a reliable full national health account study has been done. They are disbursements to recipient countries as reported by donors, lagged one year to account for the delay between disbursement and expenditure.

Foreword Policy highlights WHO African country profile 2012 Technical documentation
Expenditure on health is about WHO BUYS HEALTH CARE. Households are the main private sector actor. Other private sector actors include non-profit institutions, private insurances, and enterprises.
Expenditures on health are financed by domestic resources (government funds and private sector funds), and by funding from abroad (external resources). This is about WHO FUNDS HEALTH CARE. Funding from abroad is the sum of resources made available by all non-resident institutional units, which are used for payments of health goods and services.
PER CAPITA EXPENDITURE IN US$ (constant 2010 US$) illustrates the trends on spending per person in constant US$, since 1995, in total expenditure on health, and for two purchasers of health care, government1 and households. The trends are adjusted to only show the real change in expenditure, and correct for fluctuations due to inflation (data is in constant 2010 US$). The last year of the series can be compared to the average value, for that year, of expenditures on health by countries belonging to the same geographical2 and income3 group as the selected country (square marks).
GOVERNMENT RESOURCES ALLOCATED TO HEALTH highlights efforts by government4 to allocate resources to health as compared to their total spending envelope. Two trends are shown: allocation of total expenditure going to health (blue line) and allocation of expenditure only funded out of domestic resources - before receiving aid – going to health (red bars).
GENERAL GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURE ON HEALTH AS SHARE (%) OF GDP is a set of 3 graphs that describes aspects of the fiscal context of countries and situates them within their geographical1 and income2 group. The first graph describes government’s realized capacity to spend in any given year (General government expenditure % GDP); the second graph highlights the allocative decision by governments to spend on health (General government expenditure on health % General government expenditure); and the third graph is the product of the first two graphs and evaluates general government expenditure on health in terms of country’s income (% GDP).
1 Government is the sum of outlays for health maintenance, restoration or enhancement paid for in cash or supplied in kind by government entities, such as the Ministry of Health, other ministries, parastatal organizations, social security agencies (without double-counting the government transfers to social security and to extra-budgetary funds). Includes transfer payments to households to offset medical care costs and extra-budgetary funds to finance health services and goods. The revenue base of these entities may comprise multiple sources, including external funds.
2 WHO regions link 3 World Bank income groups link 4 Government expenditures (total or for health) include expenditure by government entities, such as the
Ministry of Health, other ministries, parastatal organizations, and social security agencies. It includes all compulsory health insurance (including private insurances that are publicly mandated and funded through compulsory contributions).
