About the indicator

Current health expenditure per resident in current US dollars. The gap between countries reaches several hundredfold — from a few dozen dollars a year to more than ten thousand. It is this indicator, and not the share of GDP, that determines the real volume of medical care available.

Important: The aggregate for a group is all of its spending over all of its population, not an average of country values: a country of a billion residents weighs in it according to its size.
