Fiscal Space for Health in Guatemala: Prospects for Increasing Public Resources for Health

As part of its health sector reform process, Guatemala seeks to mobilize new domestic resources to fund the scale-up of key health services throughout the country. This fiscal space analysis examines the current sources of government financing for health and the extent to which the sources can generate increased budgetary space for health services. Understanding the factors that limit the creation of additional fiscal space for health can help the health sector, and the country as a whole, to prioritize key policy and fiscal reforms that facilitate the mobilization of new public resources.
