Summary 

This dataset includes estimates of primary health care (PHC) expenditures, PHC expenditures in ambulatory settings, and PHC expenditures disaggregated by the System of Health Accounts (SHA) health care function category in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) from 2000 through 2017. Three data sources were used to estimate PHC expenditures: recently published health expenditure estimates for each LMIC, which were constructed using 1662 country-reported National Health Accounts (NHAs); proprietary data from IQVIA to estimate expenditure of prescribed pharmaceuticals for PHC; and household surveys and costing estimates to estimate inpatient vaginal delivery expenditures.
