National Health Accounts

National Health Accounts (NHA) are systematic records that track how a country spends money on health care. They collect data from various sources to show the amount of funding used for services like hospitals, medicines, and prevention programs. This helps policymakers understand where health funds are allocated, identify gaps or inefficiencies, and plan better health strategies. Essentially, NHAs provide a clear picture of a nation's health financing landscape, supporting informed decisions to improve health systems and ensure resources are used effectively for public health needs.
