This new publication is the culmination of a major collaborative project undertaken with the European Commission and WHO to revise and expand an original OECD manual on health accounts to produce a global standard in health accounting.Click here to Read more |

Setting the world standard in health accounts
The OECD and the World Bank held a meeting on the institutionalisation of National Health Accounts (NHA) under the banner ‘Where is the money and what are we doing with it?’
Around 55 countries attended the two-day meeting, with ministers of health from Egypt, Tanzania, Senegal, Benin and the Maldives as well as other senior policy makers, international organisations and development partners. The meeting provided a forum for countries to discuss how national health accounts could aid in evidence-based decision-making in the health care planning process.
The timing of the meeting was significant, coinciding with the release of A System of Health Accounts 2011. Click here to Read more |
