When it comes to government expenditure on health, India's is among
the lowest in the world.
In 2012, at 60 PPP dollars per capita, it was
barely 1.4 per cent of the US government's per capita health dollar
expenditure of 4,153 PPP dollars.
Despite having such a high per capita
public expenditure on health, the extremely high cost healthcare system
in the US means the government covers only 47 per cent of total
healthcare costs.
In the UK and Japan, more than 80 per cent of the
cost is covered by by government. In India, government expenditure is
only 30.5 per cent of total expenditure on health.
