Indicator notes
Public expenditure on health, PPP$ per capita, WHO estimates
Indicator code: E340204.T This indicator shares the definition with the parent indicator \"Public-sector health expenditure as % of total health expenditure, WHO estimates\".

These estimates of the public (or the general governmental expenditure) on health were produced by WHO using multiple information sources and special techniques. It is the sum of outlays on health paid for by taxes, social security contributions and external (without double-counting the governmental transfers to social security and extrabudgetary funds, see the World Health Report 2002 for details) These estimates may somewhat differ from official national statistics reported by countries (see indicator 992703).
