Research by the Global Burden of Disease Health Financing Collaborator Network estimated HIV/AIDS spending for 137 low- and middle-income countries for 2000-2016. The estimates cover HIV/AIDS spending disaggregated by source into three domestic financing source categories (government, out-of-pocket, and prepaid private) and development assistance for health (DAH). Spending is also disaggregated by function, including care and treatment, prevention, and other spending. Domestic HIV/AIDS spending by source and function was estimated based on five major data sources: the AIDSinfo online database, Global Fund concept notes and proposals, National Health Accounts (NHAs), National AIDS Spending Assessments, and the AIDS data hub. Development assistance for HIV/AIDS data were drawn from IHME's 2018 Development Assistance for Health Database. Estimates are reported in constant 2018 United States dollars.

The estimates cover total health spending, and health spending disaggregated by source into three domestic financing source categories (government, out-of-pocket, and prepaid private) and development assistance for health (DAH). Retrospective health spending estimates for 1995-2016 and key covariates (including GDP per capita, total government spending, total fertility rate, and fraction of the population older than 65 years) were used to forecast GDP and health spending through 2050. Estimates are reported in constant 2018 US dollars, constant 2018 purchasing-power parity-adjusted (PPP) dollars, and as a percent of gross domestic product.
Research by the Global Burden of Disease Health Financing Collaborator Network produced retrospective health spending estimates for 1995-2016 for 195 countries and territories. The estimates cover total health spending, and health spending disaggregated by source into three domestic financing source categories (government, out-of-pocket, and prepaid private) and development assistance for health (DAH). Domestic health spending source data came primarily from the WHO’s Global Health Expenditure Database (GHED). DAH data came from a diverse set of sources, including program reports, budget data, national estimates, and National Health Accounts (NHAs). The resulting estimates were used to help produce prospective health spending estimates for 2017-2050. Estimates are reported in constant 2018 United States dollars, constant 2018 purchasing-power parity-adjusted (PPP) dollars, and as a percent of gross domestic product.
This version of the Development Assistance for Health (DAH) Database includes estimates for 1990-2018, which are based on project databases, financial statements, annual reports, IRS 990s, and correspondence with agencies. The DAH Database enables comprehensive analysis of trends in international disbursements of grants and loans for health projects in low- and middle-income countries from key agencies. The data are disaggregated by source of funds, channel of funding, country and geographic region, health focus areas, and program areas. New in 2018: the addition of China as a source of funding; the inclusion of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations and European Economic Area as channels of disbursements; and the addition of drug resistance/antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as a program area.
To understand the framework used to track DAH, users of the database should review IHME's Financing Global Health 2018 report and methods annex.
Research by the IHME estimated malaria spending for 106 countries which were malaria-endemic over 2000-2016 or became malaria-free after 2000.

As part of an analysis of the availability and quality of birth registration data worldwide, researchers from IHME and the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health compiled publicly available birth registration records into a novel birth registration database. They acquired 4,918 country-years of data from 145 countries covering the period 1948-2015. Data were collected from the United Nations Statistical Division (UNSD) database, Eurostat, and directly from national statistical offices and ministry of health databases. For each country-year, this database contains the number of registered live births by age of the mother, sex of the newborn, birth order, and birthweight. Results of the analysis were published in December 2018 in Population Health Metrics in "How useful are registered birth statistics for health and social policy? A global systematic assessment of the availability and quality of birth registration data."
