It covers spending by government schemes, private insurance, and out-of-pocket payments, published annually by the OECD under its System of Health Accounts (SHA). The most recent reading is 4,095.0 USD PPP in 2025 (preliminary)."},{"question":"How current is this data, and how reliable is the latest figure?","answer":"The series runs through 2025, though that year is flagged as a preliminary OECD estimate. The last fully finalized observation is 2024, at 4,003.0 USD PPP per capita. Figures are typically revised as national health accounts are finalized, so the 2025 value may shift in future OECD updates."},{"question":"How does Chile's spending compare with the OECD average?","answer":"In 2023 — the most recent year with complete data across OECD members — Chile recorded 3,515.5 USD PPP per capita, roughly 61% of the unweighted 38-member OECD average of about 5,755.1 USD PPP for the same year. Chile is typically among the lower-to-mid per-capita spenders within the OECD, well below the United States (13,932.6 USD PPP in 2023) but ahead of several regional and lower-income OECD peers such as Mexico (1,520.0 USD PPP) and Colombia (1,885.8 USD PPP)."},{"question":"What is the split between government and private spending?","answer":"In 2024, government and compulsory schemes covered an estimated 2,263.2 USD PPP per capita (about 56.5% of the total), while voluntary insurance and household out-of-pocket payments accounted for roughly 1,739.7 USD PPP (about 43.5%). The government share has typically run higher in recent years than in the early 2000s, when it covered close to 53% of total spending."},{"question":"What is the long-term trend?","answer":"Per-capita spending has risen in most years since 2000, from 585.4 USD PPP that year to 4,095.0 USD PPP in 2025 — an increase of roughly 123% just since 2015. The largest single-year jump came in 2024, at +487.5 USD PPP, with 2021 and 2022 also seeing sizable increases likely tied to pandemic-related health outlays and their aftermath."}]}
