Descripción
This report is the outcome of a
costing study undertaken to obtain information about the
costs of delivering health services at different
administrative health care levels in Bhutan, to:Inform the
Ministry of Health about the costs of delivering various
types of services at different levels; • Increase
cost-awareness and knowledge about healthcare delivery costs
among policy researchers and the general public; Support
future evidence-based and informed policy decisions to
increase efficiency of the Bhutanese health sector. The
study reviewed healthcare costs and activities in 9
districts, covering a total of 12 facilities, including: the
National Referral Hospital, the 2 Regional Referral
Hospitals, 4 district hospitals, two 10- bedded hospitals
and 3 primary health centers. The study made use of an
easily replicable methodology to assess the cost of
resources used to provide services covering the 2018/2019
financial year. The study also updates a similar study
undertaken in 2011 for the 2009/2010 financial year. For the
purposes of the study, a costing model was developed using
internationally recognized methodologies that were adjusted
to the Bhutanese health system.
