About the tool
Explore patterns of global health financing flows from 1990 to 2050 in an updated tool. View trends in global health spending with interactive bar charts, maps, and line graphs. Explore DAH levels and changes over time by source, channel, recipient region, and health focus and program area. Compare DAH disbursed or received by population, disability-adjusted life years, gross domestic product, and government health spending. View all-cause spending for every country from 1995 to 2050, and HIV/AIDS spending for low- and middle-income countries from 2000 to 2016. For the first time, see malaria spending estimates for endemic countries from 2000 to 2016, as well as estimates of China’s DAH disbursements.
