- Description
- The Global Health Expenditure Database (GHED) provides internationally comparable data on health spending for close to 190 countries. The database is open access and supports the goal of Universal Health Coverage by helping monitor the availability of resources for health and the extent to which they are used efficiently and equitably. This, in turn, helps ensure health services are available and affordable when people need them...WHO works collaboratively with Member States and updates the database annually using available data such as government budgets and health accounts studies. Where necessary, modifications and estimates are made to ensure the comprehensiveness and consistency of the data across countries and years. GHED is the source of the health expenditure data republished by the World Bank and the WHO Global Health Observatory. (from website)
