The years 2012, 2013 have had a modest increase of health funding per capita, but the situation changed in 2014. Its value amounted to 13,446 ALL from 12,432 ALL that was the corresponding value at 2013. This increase was caused almost to the same extent by increasing the budget of the Ministry of Health (1.59 billion ALL or 5.55%) and increasing the amount of contributions (1,309 billion ALL or 17.9%). This means that despite the promise for free health care, the increased health financing during 2014 was largely due to increased revenue from contributions.
