Percent share of total department expenditure in ETB for health centers and primary hospitals. This figure presents the proportion of the cost components for each health facility department – IPD, OPD, MCH, and Delivery. The main cost driver are drugs and supplies for health centers with the exception for the Delivery department and OPD. Indirect costs (e.g., electricity, running water, etc.) only account for a small portion of the total costs. We see a slightly different picture for primary hospitals where human resources are the main cost driver, accounting for at least 50% of total costs with the exception of the MCH department (35%)
