For countries with a July to June fiscal year, the beginning year is used as the reporting year. The latest updates on these data are accessible in WHO's National Health Accounts (NHA) website (http://www.who.int/nha/en/). Public health expenditure consists of recurrent and capital spending from government (central and local) budgets, external borrowings and grants (including donations from international agencies and nongovernmental organizations), and social (or compulsory) health insurance funds.
