Finance Administration Directorate

The Finance Directorate plays a crucial role in ensuring the efficient and transparent management of financial resources within the health sector. It is responsible for budget planning, allocation, and expenditure management to ensure that funds are directed towards priority health programs and services. The directorate works to strengthen financial accountability mechanisms by implementing effective internal control systems, financial reporting standards, and auditing procedures to minimize risks such as mismanagement and fraud. Additionally, it mobilizes financial resources from domestic and international sources, including government allocations, donor contributions, and public-private partnerships, to enhance the sustainability of health financing. By conducting economic analysis and cost-effectiveness studies, the directorate ensures that available resources are used optimally, supporting evidence-based decision-making in financial planning and policy development.

Beyond financial planning, the directorate also focuses on ensuring equitable and sustainable health financing. It develops strategies to improve financial protection mechanisms, reducing the burden of healthcare costs on individuals, particularly vulnerable populations. The directorate oversees the implementation of health insurance schemes, including risk pooling and cost-sharing models, to expand access to quality healthcare while maintaining financial sustainability.
