Ukraine. Healthcare system overview. Revenue collection/sources of funds
There are many different sources of financing for the health system in Ukraine. Since the lack of an appropriate accounting system makes it impossible to analyse the structure of health expenditure from different sources over time, this chapter will deal primarily with data received after the introduction of NHA, that is, from 2003 to 2008.
However, even the NHA underestimate the population’s participation in direct health care financing (Gotsadze et al., 2006). Data from separate regional surveys indicate that the population’s share of health system financing is higher by about 10% (Kryachkov, Bechke & Boyko, 2000; Litvak, Pogoreliy & Tishuk, 2001; Lekhan, Kryachkova & Maximenko, 2007).
