WHO Global Health Expenditure Database

The data are available here: http://apps.who.int/nha/database

We pull three series from this site: HealthExpGov%Tot, HealthExpPriv%Tot, HealthExpTot%GDP

Notes

• WDI Revision states that indicators SH.XPD.TOTL.ZS Health expenditure, total (% of GDP) and SH.XPD.PRIV.ZS Health expenditure, private (% of GDP) have been deleted in April of 2018.
• To replace these we pulled Current health expenditure (CHE) as percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) (%) for HealthExpTot%GDP and Domestic private health expenditure (PVT-D) as percentage of current health expenditure (CHE) (%) for HealthExpPriv%Tot

Pulling Data

Go to: https://www.who.int/data/gho/data/indicators

1) Search your indicator. It is very case sensitive.

2) The excel file you need will be in the tab Data

3) On the right side there will be the link that states EXPORT DATA in CSV. Right click on that link and save the link. You will get the csv excel file doing this.

Note: The aggregation rule for these three series is set to "none" which creates issues when viewing historical data.
