What is a health product?

The health system provides health care goods and services to the population in the form of health care products. Health products are repeatedly referred to throughout the SHA 2011 Manual and, as such, a standardised concept of what a health product is should be established as a basis for any analysis of the production and consumption processes.

How are health care products classified?

This means that all providers of health care are taken into consideration, not only the providers whose main activity is health care (as in the ISIC and NACE). The basis for the classification of health care products is the CPC and CPA. A few additional sources of products are used to create more detail in specific classes.

What is the health products portal (HPP)?

The Health Products Portal provides a single digital channel for industry to interact with us about regulated and reimbursed health-related products and services. See our program page for more about our work on the Health Products Portal (HPP). Contact us if you need help with the Health Products Portal, or have a suggestion for improvement.

Why should health products be governed?

Given the large role of health products in the provision of health care and the proportion of health spending they represent (as high as 60% for medicines in some countries),2 improving governance will help prevent the waste of public resources needed to sustain health systems and provide quality and affordable care. 16.
