- The percentage of GDP not strongly correlated with
income.
- Several poor countries eg India and Nepal spend large % of their GDP
on health, while Singapore spends relatively smaller percentage.
Weak relationship between % of health expenditures accounted for by
the public sector and GDP
The public sector accounts for a greater share of total expenditures
in poorer countries (eg China) than in several wealthier countries (eg
Thailand).
Weak associations with income reflect different priorities across
countries both on the part of government and private citizens.
