Healthcare Spending by Function (USD PPP per Capita)
How does a country actually spend its healthcare money? This dataset shows the breakdown. Instead of just knowing a country spends $5,000 per person on health, you see how much goes to hospital treatment, how much to drugs, how much to nursing homes, and how much to administration. You can compare what different countries prioritize. Some pour more into prevention, others into long-term care. It's all in dollars adjusted for cost of living so you're comparing apples to apples across countries.
