An Absent Therapy For Healthcare Financing

This report addresses the chronic issue of insufficient health financing in Kosovo. The objective is to argue the urgent need for a fundamental shift in addressing this problem. Despite the declared priority for healthcare in all post-war government programmes, this has never been achieved. Budgetary funds allocated to the healthcare sector have consistently ranged between 2.5 to 3.5 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), approximately 10 percent of Kosovo's budget. This level of healthcare financing is significantly lower, not only compared to European Union (EU) and OECD countries, but also in comparison to neighbouring countries, except Albania (around 3 percent of GDP). Government spending on healthcare in Bosnia and Herzegovina reaches 6.5 percent of GDP, in Montenegro 6.5 percent, in Serbia 6.3 percent, and in North Macedonia 4.7 percent.
