Updates From the LAC Health Accounts Steering Committee

August 2002

In 1998 the Ministry of Health, with the support of PAHO and PHR/USAID designed and estimated a Health Satellite Account for the years 1995-1996, using the definitions of the United Nations System of National Accounts 1993 and the methodology of satellite accounts.  Peru published a report on this round of estimations, which had permitted to organize transactions dispersed throughout several productive and social sectors, into a single integrated system, and which gave consistency and continuity to economic and financial statistics, integrating them with the production statistics for the health sector (please see below). 

Mayo 2005

Health accounts studies continue at the state level.  Four states have undertaken estimations with the support of PHRplus/USAID.  At the moment, this subject is not among the priorities of the Ministry of Health.
