Summary info: The Financing Global Health report
- ‘Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for 67% of all deaths yet only receive 2% of the funding to improve health in low-and middle-income countries.’
- High-income countries spent $5,551 per person on health, upper-middle-income countries spent $949, lower-middle income countries spent $266, and low-income countries spent $110. Six high-income countries account for as much spending as the rest of the world combined.
- In 2015, countries with the lowest rates of HIV prevalence spent the most (65%) on HIV/AIDS. Spending per case was also highest in these countries at $2,788. By contrast, countries with high prevalence rates spent 17% ($731 per case), and countries with extremely high prevalence spent 18% ($681 per case).
- DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE FOR HEALTH (DAH): Non-communicable diseases, other infectious diseases, and maternal, newborn, and child health had the largest annualized percent change in DAH from 2010 to 2017 at 7%, 5%, and 4%, respectively.
- UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE: There is great variation in expected health spending around the world.
