Global Health Expenditure Database
The Global Health Expenditure Database (GHED) provides comparable data on health expenditure for 192 countries over the past 20 years. Health spending indicators are key guides for monitoring resource, provision of transparency and supporting the accountability of health financing systems. The present time series, from 2000 to 2019, up to the COVID-19 pandemic period, provide a basis for assessing future changes in health systems. They also support the goal of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by helping monitor the availability of resources for health. The published data stimulate further research and discussion of health policy at the global, regional and national levels, as well as improving the data availability and quality.
