For over a decade, this report has provided policymakers with critical information on current and future health financing and spending. Our most recent edition, Financing Global Health 2021, expands on, and adds new estimates to, topics like pandemic preparedness, future health spending, and development assistance for health. 

What’s new in FGH 2021? 

  • Estimates of pandemic preparedness and response (PPR) spending 
    We present retrospective estimates of DAH for PPR from 1990 to 2021. We also look ahead at the next five years – to 2026 – and forecast the availability of DAH as it relates to the need estimates published by the G20’s High Level Independent Panel (HLIP) on pandemic preparedness. 

  • Revised future health spending projections to 2050 
    We have updated our projections of future health spending for 204 countries to 2050, assuming historical spending patterns and relationships persist. We observe that the wide disparities in health spending between low- and high-income countries are expected to persist into the future. 

  • Updated disease spending profiles 
    Initially introduced in 2019, the profiles allow stakeholders to easily access information on a number of health focus areas. This year’s profiles highlight the continued support for the health-related pandemic response as well as growth and declines in support for some health focus areas
