Health system cost
A record of all money, resources and efforts expended to improve the health of a defined target population (a health system) in a given time period. Depending on the scope of analysis, this may include actual private, public and personal (out-of-pocket) payments for health care and health promotion delivered directly to persons, families and/or other groups in the health system, expenditures on common goods to improve health (e.g. enhanced water treatment) and imputed costs of informal caregivers.
