 July 22, 2009–Financing Global Health 2009 provides the most comprehensive
picture available of the total amount of funding going to global health
projects spanning two decades. It takes into account funding from aid
agencies in 22 developed countries, multilateral institutions, and hundreds
of nonprofit groups and charities. Prior to this report, nearly all private
philanthropic giving for health was unaccounted for, meaning that nearly a
third of all health aid was not tracked.

This is the first in what will become an annual publication providing valid
and consistent time-series data for tracking global health resources and
offering in-depth analyses in the following three areas: development
assistance for health, government health expenditure, and private health
expenditure. This first report focuses on development assistance for
health…..”

Funding for health in developing countries has quadrupled over the past two
decades - from $5.6 billion in 1990 to almost $22 billion in 2007, driven in
large part by the growing influence of private donors, foundations and
non-governmental organizations. Private contributions now make up 30 percent
of the health assistance pie, with a full quarter of health assistance
resources flowing through NGOs. These are the latest findings out of the
Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of
Washington. The study, "Financing of global health: tracking development
assistance for health from 1990 to 2007," appeared in the June 20th issue of
The Lancet and is featured in a policy report out this month, providing the
first-ever comprehensive picture of the total amount of funding going to
global health projects.
