Fiji provides social health protection to its population through tax-funded services. Domestic general government expenditure is estimated at 4% of GDP and 7.2% as a share of general government expenditures in 2020. These data indicate the government’s policy of prioritizing health relative to the general budget expenditures in Fiji.
The government provides a degree of financial protection to the population by keeping out-of-pocket (OOP) spending at a low level. In 2020, OOP spending was reported to be 14% of current health expenditure (CHE) in Fiji.
