WHO aims to strengthen the capacity of country Health Accounts (HA) teams and professionals involved in health financing and policy by offering comprehensive, self-paced training. The programme provides participants with the knowledge needed to systematically measure and analyse health expenditures using the System of Health Accounts (SHA) 2011 methodology, along with the latest developments and the operation of e-tools such as the Health Accounts Production Tool (HAPT). The training also extends to the stages of dissemination and the use of HA data in shaping evidence-based policymaking.  

This course is designed into several modules and submodules, organized under unifying topics for structured learning. The course offers flexibility, allowing to repeat, skip, or navigate directly to topics based on participants’ interests. Some submodules are delivered in video format, while others feature slide-based content. New modules and submodules are planned to be released over time as they are developed.   

This training contributes to the strengthening of countries in capacity building for the production of HA, leading to more transparent and reliable health expenditure tracking, supporting evidence-based health policy development, and aligning country’s reporting systems with global standards.
