Summary 

As part of the Brain Health Initiative (BHI) at IHME, this project produced estimates for global spending on health care services for 24 brain health disorders in 204 countries and territories by condition, location, year, age, sex, and type of care for 2000-2019. Types of care include ambulatory, emergency department, home health, inpatient, nursing facility, and pharmaceutical. This study utilizes estimates of relative prices and utilization of health care service from the Disease Expenditure Project (DEX), prevalence and incidence measures from the 2023 Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD), and spending scalars developed from the Financing Global Health study (FGH).

These estimates can be explored using the Brain health atlas website. https://brainhealthatlas.org/
