Healthcare Financing Chuke P. O. Nigeria: In Saltman, R.B. Ed. The International Handbook of Health Care Systems. Greenwood Press, N.Y, 1988
Of total health expenditure of $16.7 billion in 2005, about 60% (predominantly out-of-pocket payments by individuals), was financed privately Private providers captured about half of that total expenditure
Growth of Private Sector Funding Private sector will grow faster than the public sector in the next decade , and will require investments in the range of $11–$20 billion over the same period to sustain this growth.
Are SSA governments able to meet this demand? • In 2000, 53 SSA African heads of state pledged to allocate 15 % of their national budgets to health care. Reaffirmed in October 2005 session of the Conference of African Ministers of Health in Botswana. • In 2003, only one country (Liberia) has reached this level of expenditure, while 33 countries have not even reached ten percent. • Private sector entities have the potential to deliver between 45 and 70 percent of the needed increase in capacity
Nigerian Resource and Financing Gaps Funds required using our costed NSHDP as basis (US$ 26 per capita) =N 540 Billion ($ 3.6 Billion) Funds from existing sources using NHA results projected to 2009 as basis = N 2.1 Trillion resulting in a negative gap of about N 1.56 Trillion. Federal Ministry of Health
Healthcare Financing Gap for Nigeria It is estimated that the market for healthcare in SSA will more than double by 2016, going up to $US 35 Billion Estimates for Nigeria are 15% of this amount, or $5.25 Billion (N785 Billion)
