The following countries had no data: |
This indicates how much is spent by government on health per person in a country. In order to allow a fair comparison between countries, amounts are standardised and converted into a notional currency, international dollars, to take account of the different costs of services in different countries.
This is the only indicator that is expressed as an absolute value as opposed to a percentage, giving a concrete estimate of how much public money is available to fund services on average. It is easy to compare countries using this estimate, whereas indicators based on percentages are difficult to compare (as both numerators and denominators can differ). It is important for countries to reach the minimum target, otherwise the government will not be able to provide essential services to the population.
The data available from the WHO Global Health Expenditure database are reported by country governments using the framework of System of Health Accounts 2011 (SHA2011). Since 2015, the new classification system, which separates out external grant funding from government expenditure, reports current and capital expenditure separately, and distinguishes tax-financed government expenditure from social health insurance, more accurately captures health financing reforms taking place among UN member states, and improves comparability over time and across countries (for example, capital expenditures fluctuate and do not finance access to health services, but improve future resilience of the health sector).

More about indicator and sources
The numerator for this particular indicator is calculated as the sum of domestic health revenue (as internal transfers and grants, transfers, subsidies to voluntary health insurance beneficiaries, NPISH or enterprise financing schemes as well as compulsory prepayment and social health insurance contributions). The denominator is the population size. In countries where the fiscal year begins in July, expenditure data have been allocated to the later calendar year (for example, 2011 data will cover the fiscal year 2010–11).
More information on calculations
Further details of SHA2011 application in individual countries can be seen in the country footnotes and the metadata on the WHO Global Health Expenditure Database. To calculate many of the indicators, macro-economic and demographic estimates from other organisations, such as the World Bank, IMF and United Nations Population Division were also used.
