Egypt‘s four NHAs from 1995-2009show that household spending has increased 20%, while the government share decreased by 8%. The first NHA stimulated the Health Sector Reform Program in the late 1990s to expand primary health care. Similarly, the second NHA influenced the launch of the Family Health Fund to reduce OOP spending. The minister used the third NHA to advocate for more comprehensive health insurance. Finally, the most recent NHA is being used by a new government to address the declining equity.
