This policy note provides an overview of government health financing in the Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR), with an added focus on health center financing. The note summarizes overall trends in health outcomes and government health financing over 2000-2014 and analyzes trends in planned and realized government budgetary health spending data covering fiscal years (FYs) 2000/01 to 2013/14 and planned expenditures for FYs 2014/15, updating a previous assessment conducted in 2012.1 In addition, this note summarizes findings from health center financing data collected as part of the UFGE-CNP facility survey which collected information from a nationally-representative sample of 120 health centers in 2013-14. This policy note is one of a series designed to disseminate findings of the World Bank's program of analytic and advisory activities for health in Lao PDR.
