It covers spending by government schemes, private insurance, and household out-of-pocket payments, published annually by the OECD under its System of Health Accounts (SHA). The most recent reading is 2,395.0 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 2,479.3 USD PPP per capita — meaning the 2025 figure of 2,395.0 is likely to be revised as Turkey's national health accounts are finalized in a future OECD update."},{"question":"How does Turkey's spending compare with the OECD average and regional peers?","answer":"The OECD average is typically cited around 4,500 USD PPP per capita, so Turkey's 2,479.3 USD PPP in 2024 sits well below that benchmark — roughly half. Turkey's spending is also modestly above Mexico, which recorded 1,653.4 USD PPP per capita in 2024, though direct 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 1,848.0 USD PPP per capita (about 74.5% of the total), while voluntary insurance and household out-of-pocket payments accounted for roughly 631.3 USD PPP (about 25.5%). Government financing has typically covered around three-quarters of current health spending across the observed years."},{"question":"What is the long-term trend?","answer":"Per-capita spending has risen in most years since 1999, from 369.1 USD PPP that year to 2,395.0 USD PPP in 2025 — an increase of roughly 130.2% just since 2015. The largest single-year jump came in 2023, at +448.7 USD PPP, likely reflecting the effect of high domestic inflation on nominal health spending figures before PPP conversion."}]}
