Updates From the LAC Health Accounts Steering Committee
August 2002 Brazil has had many prior studies of health
expenditures and financing. Most studies were part of the World Bank-sponsored
Health Sector Financial Analyses (HSFA) or Public Sector Expenditure
Reviews. A 1989 study of HA employed the United Nations SNA
framework: a quasi-satellite
account. The National Statistical Office (IBGE) is interested in
producing an updated Health Sector Satellite Account. The Ministry
of Health is interested in developing
updated estimates of health expenditure and financing at the national and
state/local levels, along the lines of HSFA, or System of Health Accounts
studies.Submit Your
