This sixth edition of Health at a Glance provides the latest comparable data on different aspects of the performance of health systems in OECD countries. It provides striking evidence of large variations across countries in the costs, activities and results of health systems. Key indicators provide information on health status, the determinants of health, health care activities and health expenditure and financing in OECD countries. Each indicator in the book is presented in a user-friendly format, consisting of charts illustrating variations across countries and over time, brief descriptive analyses highlighting the major findings conveyed by the data, and a methodological box on the definition of the indicator and any limitations in data comparability.

Health expenditure in relation to GDP
Trends in the health spending to GDP ratio are the result of the combined effect of trends in both GDP and health expenditure. Apart from Luxembourg, health spending has grown more quickly than GDP since 2000. This has resulted in a higher share of GDP allocated to health on average across OECD countries.
