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/). Out of pocket expenditure is any direct outlay by households, including gratuities and in-kind payments, to health practitioners and suppliers of pharmaceuticals, therapeutic appliances, and other goods and services whose primary intent is to contribute to the restoration or enhancement of the health status of individuals or population groups. It is a part of private health expenditure. Source: World Health Organization, OECD, and World Bank surveys.
