The amount of state budget financing for health is a useful indicator as it shows the priority given to this sector and furthermore it shows the importance of citizen life in budget figures.

In circumstances where the state does not pay a certain health service, the individual pays for itself directly. If we examine the weight of public expenditures vs. Health Total Expenditures, we will notice that Albania is a country where this indicator is the lowest. So Albania people spend more money from their pocket for health care than its neighbors. Meanwhile, Croatia is a country that spends more on health budget. In fact, the private costs to individuals are the lowest in the region.<\/p>\n<p>  <script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/jsapi\">\n  <\/script><br \/>\n  <script type=\"text\/javascript\">google.load('visualization', '1', {'packages':['motionchart']});\n      google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);\n      function drawChart() {\n       var query = new google.visualization.Query('https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheet\/tq?range=A68%3AC218&key=0Agylwmr5tEbVdGtydk5HUVIwbGQtS01FRlRqbXd2SFE&gid=0&headers=-1');\n\t   \/\/ Send the query with a callback function.\n\t   query.send(handleQueryResponse);\n\t  }\n\t  function handleQueryResponse(response) {\n\t      if (response.isError()) {\n\t        alert('Error in query: ' + response.getMessage() + ' ' + response.getDetailedMessage());\n\t        return;\n\t      }    \n\t      var data = response.getDataTable();<\/p>\n<p>\t       \/\/kodi poshte eshte identik per 2 rastet\n\t        var chart = new google.visualization.MotionChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));\n\t        var options = {};\n\t        options['state'] ='{\"yAxisOption\":\"2\",\"dimensions\":{\"iconDimensions\":[\"dim0\"]},\"yZoomedDataMax\":240,\"orderedByX\":false,\"showTrails\":false,\"playDuration\":15000,\"time\":\"2009\",\"yZoomedDataMin\":-1,\"xZoomedIn\":false,\"yZoomedIn\":false,\"sizeOption\":\"_UNISIZE\",\"uniColorForNonSelected\":false,\"nonSelectedAlpha\":0.4,\"yLambda\":1,\"duration\":{\"multiplier\":1,\"timeUnit\":\"Y\"},\"xZoomedDataMin\":504921600000,\"iconType\":\"BUBBLE\",\"orderedByY\":false,\"colorOption\":\"2\",\"xZoomedDataMax\":1230768000000,\"iconKeySettings\":[],\"xLambda\":1,\"xAxisOption\":\"_TIME\"}';\n\t        options['width'] =600;\n\t        chart.draw(data, options);\n      }\n  <\/script> <\/p>\n<div id=\"chart_div\"><\/div>\n<p><sup>Source: World Health Organization (WHO)<br \/>Comments and Analysis: Open Data Albania (ODA)<\/sup><\/p>\n<p> \n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Financial agents, who spend on health sector within a country, may be public or private entities.
