About the indicator

Government spending on health as a percent of GDP, from the WHO national health accounts. It counts the spending of budgets at all levels and of compulsory health insurance; private spending and voluntary insurance do not belong here — they are a separate part of total health expenditure.

Important: It differs from total health expenditure: in countries with a large share of paid medicine the government part can be half the total. It is useful to compare together with the share of out-of-pocket spending.
