Economic and financial analysis of scaling up child, newborn and maternal health
Published By: HEFP on eSS | Published Date: June, 25 , 2007Little attention has been paid to the question of how to finance the costs of scaling
up MNCH care and the likely availability of funds.
Methods Past health expenditure (2000 – 2005) was analysed through the National Health
Accounts of 57 high priority countries. They projected likely availability of funding for the period
2006 – 2015 under two scenarios (business as usual and public commitments). We estimated the
financing gap by comparing the share of projected total health expenditure dedicated to MNCH
with the WHO costing model for scaling MNCH interventions.[HEFP Working paper 01/07, LSHTM, 2007]
