As part of the government's Taifa Care strategy, the Ministry of Health adopted the Global Budget Model as of January 2025 to enhance healthcare financing.
This model allocates a predetermined budget to healthcare facilities based on anticipated patient volumes and service demand, ensuring equitable distribution of resources.
Unlike the previous capitation-based model, which provides a fixed payment per patient, the Global Budget Model offers greater flexibility by allowing hospitals to manage resources based on real-time needs.
While issuing a media update on the Taifa care, the Ministry of Health has noted that this approach enables facilities to optimise service delivery, improve efficiency, and enhance financial predictability while maintaining accountability.
