Its trend has been influenced by the growth of health budget, the growing collection of health insurance contributions and the reduction of the population from year to year. 2010 and 2013 are the years with the lowest increase of health expenditure per capita as a result of the reduction of the budget of the Ministry of Health. The negative effect of the shrinking funds for this ministry on health per capita could be eliminated by the increased revenue from health insurance and the decrease the population.<\/p>\n<p>Years 2007, 2009 and 2011 stand out for their high growth of health spending per capita, scoring the respectively values of 8,981 ALL (+16.84%), 11,062 ALL (+13.74%) and 12,447 ALL (+12.04%). After this year, health expenditures per capita have grown modestly, while remaining within the limit of 13,000 ALL. The exception is the forecast for 2014, with an expected significant increase of this indicator, with 9.14%.&nbsp; Thus, the level of health spending per capita is thought to reach 14,109 ALL, 1,182 ALL more than in 2013 and 1,350 ALL more than in 2012. Compared with 10 years ago (2004), Albania is spending from its budget 2.1 times more per capita on health.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge to increase health funding per capita in 2014 remains to be verified, since it depends upon whether the budget will achieve the anticipated fiscal parameters and whether their non-realization will be accompanied by the financing contraction of priority sectors, including also health, as has occurred in previous years during budget review. The risk for the realization of this objective in 2014 is still higher if kept in mind that the increase in health spending per capita is based primarily on revenue growth of health insurance and not by increasing the budget of the Ministry of Health. The chart below shows the over years performance of health spending per capita, the Ministry of Health budget, income from health insurance contributions and population.<sup><\/p>\n<p><\/sup><br \/><iframe width=\"630\" scrolling=\"no\" height=\"371\" frameborder=\"0\" seamless=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1hNUPes5F1muX1Z2doyeEkPnPjmpuHakW6vpOrfI7LjA\/gviz\/chartiframe?oid=1571496082\"><\/iframe><br \/><sup>Source: World Health Organization<br \/>Processing and comments: Open Data Albania <\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Of special interest is the comparison of health spending per capita from Albania to other countries in the region.
