  • For health benefits packages (HBPs) established prior to 2000, we used the closest available year.

  • *There were no available data from the WB Databank for external expenditure for Mexico. For this country instead we use the WHO Global Health Expenditure Database (GHED), but the definitions are different between the two sources (GHED using current health expenditure and WB Databank using THE).

  • †Data from 2018 were used rather than 2020 as it was the closest available year.

  • THE, total health expenditure.
