This indicator estimates how much households spend on formal or informal fees at the time of using health services, or as co-payments, when their health insurance or government funding does not cover the full costs of care. This is another indicator of financial protection, giving some indication of whether households have to purchase additional services.
This shows the proportion of domestic expenditure that is not pre-paid by households. Unplanned health spending can be catastrophic for some households as they may be forced to use their savings, sell their assets or pull their children out of school to afford the cost, leading to impoverishment. Overall, this is a key indicator to measure the equity of the health system, the extent to which accessing health care depends on one’s ability to pay, and the level of financial protection. High out-of-pocket payments also mean that the financing system has weak ability to pool funds and implement strategic purchasing. Certain households may not be able to fund health care expenses out of pocket at all, meaning that this indicator may under-estimate these problems.
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 reports all direct payments from households to health care providers or pharmacists, as a proportion of all current health expenditure in the country, as well as co-payments for services not covered by insurance . A household represents an individual or group of persons living in the same accommodation who pool some or all their income and wealth, and collectively consume certain types of goods and services.
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.
