Revenue model

1. Government Budget Allocation: The Liberian government contributes approximately 14% of its annual national budget to the health sector, representing about 15% of the annual cost of financing the sector. This constitutes domestic resource mobilization for healthcare.
2. International Donor Funding: The health sector is predominantly funded externally through donor contributions from World Bank, USAID, Global Fund, WHO, UNICEF, EU, and other international partners. Pooled funding mechanisms like the Pool Fund align donor support with the National Health Plan.
3. Health Equity Fund / Revolving Drug Fund: The Ministry is transitioning from free healthcare to introducing minimum fees to support the Revolving Drug Fund (RDF) as an intermediary measure toward the Liberian Health Equity Fund (LHEF).
