List of countries by total health expenditure by type of financing
This is a list of OECD nations, and a few other nations tracked by the OECD iLibrary, and their health expenditure by type of financing.[2] Public health expenditure consists of recurrent and capital spending from government (central and local) budgets, external borrowings and grants (including donations from international agencies and nongovernmental organizations), and social (or compulsory) health insurance funds. Total health expenditure is the sum of public and private health expenditure. It covers the provision of health services (preventive and curative), family planning activities, nutrition activities, and emergency aid designated for health but does not include provision of water and sanitation.
