Abstract

At 12% of the total national budget, the proposed 2024/24 health budget is most likely the highest ever in Malawi. I say “most likely” or probably, because I have not been careful enough to review what was the country’s health budget in the 1960’s, 80’s, or the 90’s. In addition, in the Malawi context, the budget as approved by the National Assembly and assented to by the State President, doesn’t always mean that it will be followed to the letter through treasury disbursements to Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs). But 12% isn’t lower when one looks at the other sectors (defence, homeland security, foreign affairs, education and agriculture) which the same national fiscus seeks their attention.

关于 2023/4 年马拉维国家卫生预算的思考

拟议的 2024/24 年卫生预算占国家总预算的 12%，很可能是马拉维有史以来最高的。我之所以说 "极有可能 "或 "很有可能"，是因为我没有仔细研究过 20 世纪 60 年代、80 年代或 90 年代的国家卫生预算。此外，就马拉维而言，国民议会批准并经国家总统同意的预算并不总是意味着将通过国库向各部委、部门和机构（MDAs）付款来严格执行。但是，如果我们将目光投向其他部门（国防、国土安全、外交、教育和农业），12%的比例并不低。
