Global Healthcare Infrastructure & Expenditure by Country (1970–2023)

About this data

A comprehensive panel dataset covering 221 countries and territories from 1970 to 2023 with 27 indicators spanning healthcare infrastructure, expenditure, health outcomes, disease burden, and socioeconomic context. ## Sources - **World Bank World Development Indicators (WDI)** — primary source for all 22 health and socioeconomic indicators - **WHO Global Health Observatory** — regional classification (WHO regions: AFRO, AMRO, EMRO, EURO, SEARO, WPRO) - **World Bank Income Classifications** — derived income group (Low, Lower-middle, Upper-middle, High) based on GNI per capita thresholds ## Key Indicators - **Health Expenditure:** % of GDP, per capita (USD) - **Infrastructure:** Hospital beds, physicians, nurses & midwives per 1,000 population - **Health Outcomes:** Life expectancy (total, male, female), infant and under-5 mortality, maternal mortality - **Disease Burden:** TB incidence, HIV incidence, immunization rates (measles, DPT) - **Nutrition:** Child stunting and overweight prevalence - **WASH:** Basic water and sanitation access - **Context:** Population, urbanization rate, GDP per capita, WHO region, income group ## Coverage - **11,929 rows** × 27 columns - 221 countries/territories, 54 years (1970–2023) - Core indicators (life expectancy, mortality, population) have near-complete coverage; specialized indicators (health expenditure, infrastructure) concentrated in 2000–2022 ## Use Cases - Cross-country health system comparisons - Longitudinal analysis of health outcomes vs. spending - SDG progress tracking (Goal 3: Good Health & Well-Being) - Income-group or regional health disparity analysis - Predictive modeling of health outcomes from infrastructure investments
