Abstract: The following sections are included:To mobilize sufficient resources for universal primary health services, it is necessary to know how much it will cost to provide the services based on need and not based on historical utilization, which may be constrained.It is better to use normative costs that are based on the resources needed to provide good quality services rather than actual expenditures which may reflect poor quality and inefficiency.Knowing the gap between actual utilization and expenditures and needed utilization and normative costs can help mobilize resources and set priorities.
