How is this data produced?
In general, national health accounts (NHA) seek to answer 4 questions pertaining to healthcare spending:
- How much is spent?
- Who spent it? (sources of financing)
- Where was it spent? (providers of healthcare)
- What was it spent for?(functions)
Malaysia's national health accounts are based on the Malaysian National Health Accounts (MNHA) framework, which is consistent with international NHA classifications but with minor modifications to suit local policy needs.
This dataset zooms into sources of financing, focusing specifically on expenditure by the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH), which is an important policy variable. For a fuller description of the MNHA framework, you may refer to Chapter 2 of the most recent MNHA publication.
What caveats I should bear in mind when using this data?
The data may be revised in future updates, in accordance with the latest methodologies.
