Rwanda, a small country in the sub-Saharan Africa region and one of the poorest countries in the world, is nevertheless a leader in doing National Health Accounts (NHA) estimations. The full report that accompanies this executive summary describes Rwanda’s fifth general NHA estimation (1998, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2006). In addition, Rwanda has carried out multiple NHA subaccounts: for HIV and AIDS, for malaria, and for reproductive health (RH). NHA provides trend data that allow policymakers to understand the current financing and future financing needs of the country’s health care system.
