National Health Accounts of Kazakhstan
This report assesses how Kazakhstan measures up in the development and application of its national health accounts, delivering a set of recommendations to improve the country’s health care financing information. As Kazakhstan has made significant economic progress over recent decades, health has risen on the policy agenda with a number of sector reforms introduced to modernise the system and improve the health of the population. Informing this agenda and monitoring progress towards health system goals requires accurate, timely and comprehensive information on health care financing and spending. A clear understanding of the resource allocations and drivers in the health sector is a prerequisite to support health system performance in Kazakhstan.

Conclusions
Kazakhstan has experienced an intermittent history regarding health accounts production over the last ten years or so. A more sustainable process has been put in place in recent years with the transition to the System of Health Accounts 2011 methodology and the responsibility for production firmly under the Republican Center for Healthcare Development, the technical body of the Ministry of Health.
