Updates From the LAC Health Accounts Steering Committee
August 2002 In the Dominican Republic several
studies of health financing and expenditures have been conducted by national groups
during the eighties and early nineties and also as a result of the World
Bank Public Expenditures reviews. The Dominican Republic was also part of
the PHRplus NHA LAC network that utilized the Harvard methodology.
However, the
only complete Health Accounts estimations were conducted for year 1996. These
employed the
health expenditures module of the Demographic and Health Survey
(DHS) of 1996 in order to
calculate household health expenditures. An equity
analysis was also conducted for that year, financed by USAID. The Central Bank continued to produce public sector
accounts
matrices until 1999.
The Ministry of Health has expressed interest
in producing new complete estimates using the OECD SHA methodology.
During 2002, the DHS is being applied at the provincial
level and it will once again include the health expenditures module, with
which it will be possible to estimate patterns of household health
care consumption.

In 2001 and during the
first quarter of 2002, UNAIDS and WHO worked closely with
national governments and research institutions to recalculate
current estimates on people living with HIV/AIDS. The current
estimates do not claim to be an exact count of infections.
Rather, they use a methodology that has thus far proved
accurate in producing estimates which give a good indication
of the magnitude of the epidemic in individual countries.
