    This document discusses global health expenditures based on 2012 data. It finds that richer countries like those in the OECD spend a much larger percentage of their GDP on health and a much higher amount per capita than poorer regions in Africa and Southeast Asia, despite those poorer regions shouldering a larger share of the global disease burden. Specifically, OECD countries spend over 12% of GDP on health compared to 6.3% in Africa and 3.7% in Southeast Asia, and $4,499 per capita in OECD countries versus just $152 in Southeast Asia. This imbalance highlights both the need for increased health resources in poorer countries and potential inefficiencies in spending among richer nations.

    WHO/HA Policy Highlight No.

    1/April 2015 (based on 2012 data)

    Do health expenditures meet health needs?

    In 2012, the world spent a total of US$ 7.2 trillion on health at exchange rates or I$ 7.8 trillion
    (International dollars taking into account the purchasing power of different national currencies).
    The geographical distribution of financial resources for health is uneven. There is a 20/80 syndrome
    in which 34 OECD countries make up less than 20% of the world's population but spend over 80%
    of the world's resources on health.

    OECD countries spend a larger share of their GDP on health (12.6%), as compared to 6.3% in the
    African (AFR) and 3.7% in South East Asian (SEAR) regions of WHO. This translates to per capita
    spending of I$4499 (US$ 4625) in OECD countries compared to I$152 (US$ 69) in SEAR region.
    Linking this to epidemiology, the figure shows that though the poorer WHO regions like AFR and
    SEAR account for the largest share of the global burden of disease (over 50% of global disability-
    adjusted life years lost) and only 39% of the world's population, they spend 3% of global health
    resources. The Western Pacific (WPR) region without the four OECD Member States, Australia,
    Japan, New Zealand, and Republic of Korea, accounts for 23.5% of the world's population
    (dominated by China), about 16% of the global burden of disease but only 7% of the world's health
    resources. The region of the Americas (AMR) and Europe (EUR), excluding the OECD countries,
    account for about 11.5% of the world's population, 11% of the global burden of disease and spend
    only 7.5% of health resources.

    Richer countries with smaller populations and lower disease burden use more health resources than
    poorer countries with larger populations and higher disease burden. This highlights the absolute
    need for additional resources for many poor countries and raises questions of efficiency in health
    spending in richer countries.
