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 1,679.8 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 1,653.4 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 Mexico's spending compare with other OECD and Latin American economies?","answer":"Mexico's 1,653.4 USD PPP in 2024 runs well below the United States (14,823.1 USD PPP in 2024) and also trails regional OECD peers such as Chile, which reported 3,515.5 USD PPP in 2023, and Colombia, at 2,089.8 USD PPP in 2024. Mexico is typically among the lower per-capita spenders within the OECD, though comparisons depend on using data from the same vintage for each country."},{"question":"What is the split between government and private spending?","answer":"In 2024, government and compulsory schemes covered an estimated 862.7 USD PPP per capita (about 52.2% of the total), while voluntary insurance and household out-of-pocket payments accounted for roughly 790.7 USD PPP (about 47.8%). That near-even split has stayed fairly stable over the past decade, with government financing typically covering just over half of current health spending."},{"question":"What is the long-term trend?","answer":"Per-capita spending has risen in most years since 1999, from 473.5 USD PPP that year to 1,679.8 USD PPP in 2025 — an increase of roughly 62% just since 2015. The largest single-year jump came in 2023, at +143.3 USD PPP, with 2020 also seeing a sizable increase of +82.3 USD PPP likely tied to pandemic-related health outlays."}]}
