This is the percentage of total current health expenditure that is financed by external sources, including external funds that flow through government.
This shows the extent to which governments are dependent on external funding. External funds help governments meet their global health commitments. However, they are not always predictable or pooled with government funds. This makes it difficult for governments to implement long-term plans.
The data available from the WHO Global Health Expenditure database are reported by country governments using the framework of System of Health Accounts 2011 (SHA2011). Since 2015, the new classification system, which separates out external grant funding from government expenditure, reports current and capital expenditure separately, distinguishes tax-financed government expenditure from social health insurance, more accurately captures health financing reforms taking place among UN member states, and improves comparability over time and across countries (for example, capital expenditures fluctuate and do not finance access to health services, but improve future resilience of the health sector).

More about indicator and sources
The numerator includes financial resources and aid in kind of foreign origin that are distributed by government, as well as channeled directly to health services. The denominator is current health expenditure, referring to all health care goods and services used or consumed during a year. In countries where the fiscal year begins in July, expenditure data have been allocated to the later calendar year (for example, 2011 data will cover the fiscal year 2010–11). For health expenditure ratios, values smaller than 0.05% are shown as zero.
More information on calculations
Further details of SHA2011 application in individual countries can be seen in the country footnotes and the metadata on the WHO Global Health Expenditure Database. To calculate many of the indicators, macro-economic and demographic estimates from other organisations, such as the World Bank, IMF and United Nations Population Division were also used.
