“………..Report on global health expenditure and includes preliminary
estimates for health financing in the most recent years.
In this year’s report, IHME built on its past data collection and analysis
efforts to monitor the resources made available through development
assistance for health (DAH) and government health expenditure (GHE).
It confirms what many in the global health community expected: After
reaching a historic high in 2010, overall DAH declined slightly in 2011,
with some organizations and governments spending more and others spending
less.****

The research suggests that, despite global macroeconomic stress, the
international community continues to respond to the need for health and
health system support across the developing world. Over the past two years
in particular, DAH has been sustained at levels of spending that would have
been inconceivable a decade ago

****

The recent plateau in development assistance for health DAH, however,
raises a number of considerations for decision-makers and other global
health stakeholders.****

Among other improvements in this year’s edition of Financing Global Health,
the information produced by the *Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and
Risk Factors Study 2010 (GBD 2010 <http://bit.ly/159RH7c>)* added another
significant facet to the analysis. ****


The comprehensive and comparable estimates of disability and premature
mortality produced by GBD 2010 allowed us, for the first time, to relate
DAH to burden of disease…..”
