About the indicator

Current health expenditure as a percent of GDP: government spending, compulsory and voluntary insurance, and direct payments by households. Capital investment in infrastructure is not included. A high share does not automatically mean better health of the population: it can reflect broad coverage just as well as the high cost of services.
