The document includes an assessment of the Fijian health system with a focus on the health financing. The general government budget was the main pooling arrangement for health funds and the Ministry of Health purchases health services for the entire population as of 2012. Everyone was entitled to the same range of service benefits. The country’s three major regional hospitals were the main recipients of government resources (51% in 2012). 9.4% of total government expenditure was allocated to fund the health sector in 2012. Fiji’s tax-based health financing system offers health care for all, providing a path towards achieving Universal Health Coverage goals.
