This article includes 2 lists of countries of the world and their total expenditure on health as a percent of gross domestic product (GDP). Total expenditure includes both public and private expenditures. See also: List of countries by total health expenditure per capita.
The first table and bar chart lists member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). It shows each country's total spending (public and private) on health as a percent of GDP. GDP is a measure of the total economy of a nation.
The next table lists nearly all countries. It uses data from the World Health Organization (WHO). It also shows each country's total spending (public and private) on health as a percent of GDP.
The top chart to the right measures the total cost of health care (public and private expenditures) as a percent of GDP for a few nations. The chart below it shows that high life expectancy can be had across the range of health expenditures by country. See: List of countries by life expectancy.
A country list from OECD Data at Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. [1] [2]
