About this data
Current health expenditure covers health goods and services used in the year: hospital and doctor visits, medicines, prevention and administration. Spending on new hospitals and equipment is not included.
Values are at market exchange rates, so high-wage countries look more expensive than the care they buy. Spending more does not always buy longer lives: compare with the life expectancy table.
