This article includes 2 lists of countries of the world and their total expenditure on health per capita. Total expenditure includes both public and private expenditures. See also: Health spending as percent of gross domestic product (GDP) by country.
The first table uses OECD data and lists member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and a few other countries. It shows each country's total spending (public and private) on health per capita in PPP international dollars.
The next data table (Table 2) lists nearly all countries. It uses data from the World Health Organization (WHO). It also shows each country's total spending (public and private) on health per capita in PPP international dollars.
