Health service in Ethiopia is primarily financed from 4 sources: the federal and regional governments; grants and loans from bilateral and multilateral donors; non-governmental organizations; and private contributions.

Currently, there is no up-date information to show the breakdown of health services expenditure in the country. On the other hand, there are information sources indicating that contribution from the private sector is the largest single source of spending on health, while the government combined with bilateral and multi-lateral donors remain the major contributors.
