| Summary: | This Public Expenditure Review (PER) is
the result of collaboration among UNICEF, the World Bank
Group, and Lesotho's Ministries of Health and Finance.
Senior economists from the Clinton Health Access Initiative
provided invaluable support in analyzing health expenditure
data. The PER covers a five-year period, from fiscal years
(FY) 2011/12 to 2015/16 (in Lesotho, the fiscal year runs
from April 1 through March 30). The report describes and
analyzes expenditure patterns in Lesotho's public
health sector using multiple data sources. Focusing on the
Ministry of Health and Social Welfare's (MoH)
expenditure, the report identifies opportunities to improve
the efficiency, equity, and effectiveness of financial
resource use. To present a clear view of health expenditure,
the report disaggregates total expenditure in the health
system and describes its allocation across cost centers,
districts (10 of them in Lesotho), levels of care, and
health facilities (hospitals and primary health centers).
Specific focus is on allocation of expenditure by economic
classifications, and across outsourced health service providers. |
