2005 In the past year Paraguay
formed a Inter-institutional Health Accounts Committee charged with
institutionalizing health accounts. It has recently completed
a study estimating health sector expenditure and financing during
the years 1997-2001 (see publications below).
August 2002 Paraguay has several previous studies on
health expenditures financed by PAHO and the World Bank. Also, health accounts
estimates are currently being developed using the OECD methodology
(with support from PAHO). The World Bank has recently prepared
a Health Expenditures Review, which includes estimations of
financing and expenditures for years 2000 and 2001 and an equity and
efficiency analysis.Submit Your

This
2003 study constitutes the first institutionalized effort of
the country, which would put at its disposal an objective tool
to support sectoral authorities in the formulation,
development and reorientation of policies. It presents
the main results of the estimations of the financing and
expenditures in the health sector for the years
1997-2001. More detailed data is available for the
public sector, since they are based on the reports of the Sistema
Integrado de Contabilidad General
del Estado (SICO).
The private sector information was obtained from the Health
Superintendency and from the Integrated Household Surveys from
the years 1997/98 and 2000/01, developed by the Dirección
General de Estadística, Encuestas y Censos. |
