Figure 3.31 Government, social and out-of-pocket expenditure on health, 1978–2013

10/01/2015

Over the past three decades, China has seen its total health spending increase from about 3 to 5.6 per cent of its GDP. This increase was driven almost entirely by out-of-pocket payments until the mid-2000s. In recent years, out-of-pocket share decreased to reach 34 per cent in 2013. The national target is to offer citizens better financial protection in health, by increasing the share of government health expenditure, and reducing the share of out-of-pocket expenditure to below 30 per cent by 2015.
