government health financing in the Lao People’s Democratic
Republic (PDR), with an added focus on health center
financing. The note summarizes overall trends in health
outcomes and government health financing over 2000-2014 and
analyzes trends in planned and realized government budgetary
health spending data covering fiscal years (FYs) 2000/01 to
2013/14 and planned expenditures for FYs 2014/15, updating a
previous assessment conducted in 2012.1 In addition, this

collected as part of the UFGE-CNP facility survey which
collected information from a nationally-representative
sample of 120 health centers in 2013-14. This policy note is
one of a series designed to disseminate findings of the
World Bank’s program of analytic and advisory activities for
