Financing PNG’s free primary health care policy: User fees, funding and performance

By Colin Wiltshire and Andrew Mako

June 2014

This is the first major publication to be released from our Promoting Effective Public Expenditure (PEPE) project, with findings presented in June at the 2014 PNG National Health Conference in Port Moresby. The publication uses health financing results from PEPE expenditure tracking surveys to inform the implementation of PNG’s free primary health care policy.
