Abstract
The objective of this study was to estimate the total health expenditure by various health financing sources
and make recommendations for national health accounts (NHA) institutionalization. Data was obtained
from government ministries, National AIDS Coordinating Agency, private for-profit/not-for-profit health
care providers, public and private health insurance schemes, employers/firms, non-governmental
organizations, and donors. NHA questionnaires were sent to all the 225 employers/private companies, 58
private health facilities, 27 NGOs, 12 donors and 8 insurance companies with health expenditures. The data
were entered into NHA dummy matrix tables and analyzed using Excel software. The matrices were built in
accordance to the International Classification of NHA to facilitate international comparison, but customized
to the local situation.
