List of OECD health expenditure by country by type of financing

Life expectancy vs healthcare spending of rich OECD countries.

This is a list of OECD nations, and their health expenditure by type of financing.

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.
