Tremendous Variation in Healthcare Expenditure Across Geographies:

Healthcare expenditure as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has been increasing consistently and differs variably across geographies. An international comparison on healthcare spending in 2008 demonstrated that the US spent significantly higher than any other developed and emerging countries. In 2008, healthcare spending as a percentage of GDP in the US was 16%, it was 11.2% in France, 9.1% in Italy, 10.5% in Germany, 9% in Spain, 8.7% in the UK, 4.7% in China, 5% in India and 8% in Brazil. Japan spent 8.1% of its GDP on healthcare in 2007. An increase in elderly population, a rise in chronic diseases, medical technological advancements, and the growing expectations of patients, have all contributed towards increasing health care expenditures.

The global share of health expenditure as a percentage of GDP is likely to increase further as countries recover from the global recession that hit many countries in 2008 and became widespread in 2009. The distribution of health expenditure across the different types of health services and medical goods is influenced by factors such as the availability of hospital beds, health professionals and access to new technology and healthcare providers, as well as by national clinical guidelines and the disease burden within the country.
