Summary

The Global Health Expenditure Database (GHED) provides internationally comparable data on health spending for close to 190 countries from 2000 to 2018. The database is open access and supports the goal of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by helping monitor the availability of resources for health and the extent to which they are used efficiently and equitably.


The Data Team uses this dataset for these series:

  • SSeriesHealthExpPriv%Tot
  • SeriesHealthExpTot%GDP
  • SeriesHealthExpGov%Tot


To pull data from the Global Health Expenditure Database for uploading into IFs, please follow the instructions below.
