Health Financing system• Rwanda put together all collective effort

aiming at increasing innovative domestic resource to finance in the health sector

• In order to ensure long term sustainability of interventions, Rwanda has been ensuring increase in budgeting every year: e.g

2012-2013:16.05%, 2013-2014: 17.36%

This is above the 2002 Abuja declaration

set target of proportion of national budget used for Health.

Why efficient management of funds• Comply with GOR Aid policy : Accountability for all • Ensure efficient use of GOR & Partners funds• Proceed with sub sector comprehensive planning

percentage of total health expenditure and in absolute terms

• Under all health insurance schemes members are required to contribute to the cost of care by paying a co-payment

• In 2011/12 the total amount of co-payment paid by CBHI members was RWF 1.851.275.515,30.

• In the same year RSSB members paid RWF 1.621.804.892,29 in copayment
