| description |
The health equity and financial
protection reports are short country-specific volumes that
provide a picture of equity and financial protection in the
health sectors of low-and middle-income countries. Topics
covered include: inequalities in health outcomes, health
behavior and health care utilization; benefit incidence
analysis; financial protection; and the progressivity of
health care financing. Malawi's government is committed
to improving equity and financial protection in the health
sector. Equity is explicitly mentioned as one of the four
objectives in the Health Sector Strategic Plan (HSSP). The
overall objective of the HSSP is to contribute towards
Malawi's attainment of the health and related
millennium development goals. The specific objectives of the
HSSP are, therefore, to: 1) increase coverage of the high
quality Essential Health Package (EHP) services; 2) reduce
risk factors to health; 3) improve equity and efficiency in
the delivery of quality EHP services; and 4) strengthen the
performance of the health system to support delivery of EHP
services. Malawi spends 6.2 per cent (2009) of its gross
domestic product (GDP) on health. This is similar to the
average spending in other lower income countries in Africa,
which have spent an average of 6.5 per cent (2009) of their
GDP on health. The central Ministry of health is responsible
for the development and enforcement of health policy,
regulation of the health sector, creation of standards and
norms, allocation and management of resources, provision of
technical support, coordination, and monitoring and evaluation. |
