2023 REFLECTION : HEALTHCARE FINANCE
2023 REFLECTION : HEALTHCARE FINANCE
The performance of the Ministry has been largely facilitated by domestic resources and contributions from partners.
The budget allocation for 2021 was K9,2 billion and it was increased to K12,4 billion in 2022 representing 35% increment. In 2023, the total budget for the Ministry of Health was K16.1 billion, representing a percentage increment of 30%, out of which K14.7 billion was from GRZ and K1.3 billion from Cooperating Partners.
The Personal Emolument was allocated K7.7 billion while the Non-Personal Emolument had a total budget of K8,4 billion which is inclusive of K1.3 billion from Cooperating Partners through their direct budget support.
It is important to note that several donors provide off-budget support which also made significant contributions to the success of the Ministry of Health in 2023. These resources were utilised transparently and prudently, through strengthened internal controls that ensured accountability.
Going into the future the Ministry of Health aspires to have zero audit queries through the introduction of guidelines to strengthen internal controls.
Hon. Sylvia T. Masebo, MP.,
MINISTER OF HEALTH
