16. Complementary Health Financing • Total receipts for HSF almost doubled between 2006/07 and 2007/08, • About 89% of the receipts were used for health service delivery in 2007/08. • NHIF contributions have also grown from TShs 45.5 bln (2006/07) to TShs 55.5 bln (2007/08). • Significant amount of resources are unused both at the NHIF and HSF.

17. Complementary Health Financing…… • About 15% of NHIF annual income is utilized by health facilities. • Cost sharing implementation has challenges, • HSF was approximately 2% of OC allocations to the LGAs in 2006/07, and increased to about 4% of the OC allocations to the LGAs in 2007/08.

19. Allocations for HR Development…… • If HR needs as identified in the HR Strategic Plan 2008-2013 are to be attained, about 20% of the MoHSW should be allocated to HR. • However, • Only 6% of funds have been allocated to HRD in 2008/09 • Only 31% of the HRD needs were funded in 2008/09
