 2 minor   Health expenditure (as a share of GDP) - NPISH financing schemes       Health expenditure in npish financing schemes divided by gross domestic product, expressed as a percentage. Includes non-compulsory financing arrangements and programmes with non-contributory benefit entitlement that are based on donations from the general public, the government or corporations. Non-profit institutions (NPISH) financing schemes means non-compulsory financing arrangements and programmes with non-contributory benefit entitlement that are based on donations from the general public, the government or corporations. NPISH financing arrangements or financing programmes consist of a “quasi-set” of rules that define the mode of participation, entitlement and methods of fund-raising, and hence they can be treated as categories of financing schemes. International institutions that have representation in the country are considered resident NPISHs and any schemes linked to these institutions are included under HF.2.2. Such institutions may include resident representations of bilateral agencies, international organisations or international NGOs (see HF.4 for further details). NPISH financing schemes have the following characteristics: - Mode of participation: voluntary; - Benefit entitlement: non-contributory, discretionary; - Basic method for fund-raising: donations from the general public, governments (budget of national government or foreign aid) or corporations; - Mechanism and extent of pooling funds: varies across programmes but typically programme-level. This category is proposed as a replacement for SHA 1.0 item “HF.2.4. Non-profit institutions serving households (other than social insurance)”. The category of non-profit institutions has proved rather ambiguous during SHA implementation. The definition in SHA 1.0 was taken from SNA 1993: “Non-profit institutions serving households (NPISH) consist of non-profit institutions which provide goods or services to households free or at prices that are not economically significant.” This definition does not allow for a clear distinction between non-profit institutions as third-party payers of health care and non- profit institutions as providers of care. For example, hospitals may have a non-profit legal status and provide services to households free of charge under a social insurance scheme, in which case, of course, the social insurance is the financing scheme and the hospital (HP.1) is the provider. The unambiguous way in which the ICHA-HF interprets financing schemes provides a starting point. A qualitative analysis of an NGO’s activity is always required in order to decide whether the given activity can be regarded as the operation of a financing scheme. A few examples are given for the different NPISH functions. - An NPISH organisation may provide – besides their non-health activity – resources for other NPISH that carry out the financing of special health programmes. The NPISH in question does not have a direct relationship with providers of care. In this case NPISH is a provider of resources and the programme of the NPISH is the financing scheme. - A non-profit institution may create a special fund, usually through donations to finance special types of health services, for example, to operate special facilities for the homeless, or to provide care for households affected by natural disasters or war. Donations may be provided in cash or in kind from the general public, corporations or governments. During implementation, the NPISH may pay for its own staff and also for health care providers and other entities. (For example a charity organisation may pay for a special operation for a child abroad that is not available in the home country.) In these cases the NPISH programme is a financing scheme. - The “non-profit” institution may be the legal form through which providers receive payment, for example, from a social health insurance scheme as compensation for the services they provide. In this case the NPISH is a provider and the social health insurance is the financing scheme.
