Sustainable and equitable Health Financing systems play a critical role in improving health outcomes. However such policies must be built on foundation of sound evidence and analyses. The National Health Accounts (NHA) is a tool that helps countries to clearly visualize the flow and use of funds through the health sector, thus contributing to evidence based health policy decision making. The overall objective of the fourth round of NHA in Uganda was to track the amounts and flows of financial resources into the health system in Uganda for financial years 2008/09 and 2009/10 and, respond to key Health Financing policy questions within the health sector. The study examines Uganda��s Total Health Expenditure for FY2008/09 and FY2009/10, focusing on funding of health sector, management of the financial resources, and their dissemination to General Health, Reproductive Health and Child Health expenditures. It therefore provides a synthesis of findings intended to help policy makers formulate and design a comprehensive Health Financing strategy.
