Current health expenditure per person, in current US dollars.
These three states are used the same way across every indicator on the site — how we treat certainty explains the full set and what we never do to a number.

The figures at the top of the page compare every country in the same year. This list takes each country’s newest figure instead, whatever its period, so the order can differ.
