OECD Health Statistics offers the most comprehensive source of comparable statistics on health and health systems across OECD countries, and includes data found in the publication Health at a Glance. It provides data on the health status of the population including obesity (overweight, obese), suicide and life expectancy, health care financing, health care resources, social protection, health care utilization, the pharmaceutical market, long-term care resources and utilization, non-medical determinants of health, expenditure on health, and demographic and economic references, with coverage being provided for OECD and selected non-OECD countries as far back as 1960.
Health expenditure and financing
The Health expenditure and financing dataset provides internationally comparable health spending data. This includes information on current health expenditure (i.e. final consumption expenditure on health care goods and services) by health care functions, providers and financing schemes as well as information on the revenues of health care financing schemes, the cost structures of health care provision and capital formation in the health care system.
