2. Evolution of NHA in Egypt
Since 1994, the MOHP in collaboration with USAID, has
been a pioneer in the area of NHA.
Egypt was among the first low and middle income
countries to conduct National Health Accounts.
Lead the NHA efforts in the region:
First round: 1992 -93
Second round: 2001-02
Third round: 2007-08
Fourth round 2008-09
Lack of institutionalization has meant sporadic production
and use of NHA.

Where Does the Money Go?
In 2008/09, spending at
private facilities
accounted for 64
percent of total health
spending.
Of this spending,
pharmaceuticals and
private clinics accounted
for half of all health
spending in Egypt

9. Summary of Overall Findings
The private sector remains the primary provider of outpatient
services accounting for 80% of all visits:
Private clinics and pharmacies are main private providers.
More visits occur at MOHP hospitals as compared with MOHP
outpatient facilities.
The Ministry of Health and other public providers account for
62% of all inpatient admissions.
9
10. Summary of Overall Findings
There are a number of differentials in per capita spending:
Urban areas spend more than rural areas.
Major cities spend the most and rural upper Egypt the
least.
Females spend more than Males.
Those in the highest income quintile spend nearly 4.5
times as compared with those in the lowest income
quintiles.
The insured spend less as compared with the
uninsured.
10
11. Inequity
Highest income quintile uses over twice as many
outpatient visits as compared with those in the lowest
income quintile
Highest income quintiles spend four times more on
outpatient care and over ten times as much on
inpatient care
However, the poor spend a higher proportion of
household income on health as compared with the
rich
11
13. Policy Implications
Increase public investments in health. Need for
“smart spending”.
Need to address inequities between rich and poor,
urban and rural.
Fast-track comprehensive insurance reforms
Comprehensive pharmaceutical reforms
Make the private sector a true partner
13
14. Institutionalizing NHAs
MOHP can not tell on a monthly basis what it spends by
governorate, by hospital, by primary health care facility or by
program.
•Hospitals and primary health care centers do not have
information on the cost and efficiency of services they
produce.
•Put a system in place whereby:
oNHA,
oExpenditure tracking routine activities of the MOH
oCosting

Notas del editor
Out-of-pocket spending remains the single largest source, accounting for 72% of total health spending. High burden of out-of-pocket spending highlights the need for increasing risk pooling and strengthening safety nets for the poor and near poor
After household the Ministry of Health is the largest financing agent. Important to note that HIO as a financing agent represents only 6% of total health spending though it is responsible for insuring over 50% of the population.
Expenditures on pharmaceuticals and private clinics account for half of all health spending. As we saw earlier spending on pharmaceuticals continues to be a significant proportion of total health spending in the country. The private sector remains the largest provider of health care in Egypt. This is financed largely from out-of-pocket spending MOH Hospitals include those of THIO, CCO and specialized centers
Public spending, Health spending as percent of government budget lowest. Household spending is highest Low public investment and high burden of out-of-pocket spending.
