The report shows that global spending on health continually rose between 2000 and 2018 and reached US$ 8.3 trillion or 10% of global GDP. The data also show that out-of-pocket spending is persistently high in low and lower-middle income countries, representing greater than 40% of total health spending in 2018.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span>The report also provides, for the first time anywhere and based on an extensive data collection effort, an analysis of how health spending has changed during 2020 in response to the crisis. In addition, we combine World Bank\/IMF projections of the macro-fiscal impact of the COVID-19 crisis with an analysis of the historical determinants of health spending patterns and UHC indicators to draw out the likely implications of 2020 for future health spending, highlighting key policy and monitoring concerns. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><span>OBJECTIVES OF THIS SESSION<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span><span><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span>Advocate the Global Health Expenditure Database as a global public good<\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><span>. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><span><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span>Inform the global health community on the health spending and health financing dimensions of the COVID-19 pandemic, based on available data<\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><span>.&nbsp;
