Overview
National policy makers need precise information on the funding gap between the resources currently available for child health and additional investments required to achieve national targets. Child health subaccounts provide answers to specific questions regarding child health financing in the same way that general National Health Accounts answers questions on overall health care financing. Intended for National Health Accounts country experts as well as health account novices, these Guidelines aim to facilitate the production of child health subaccounts on a regular basis in order to better inform child survival policies.
