Abstract

Financing health care has remained a challenge to the governments for a long time. There seems to be very high investment in health by the governments, and inappropriate allocation of resources within the government health budget would cause inefficiency and waste in resources. Given that health is a basic human right, the health situation remains a significant concern for the policy makers. guidance by health economics research will make more efficient reforms and polices in light of accurate information. The understanding and knowledge in the indicators for healthcare economics will help make better study methodologies and give better useful results. In this paper we listed possible methods of classifying health programs costs and we listed the major healthcare and public health indicators. In addition, we discuss the classification of health programs costs and the importance of cost analysis.
