Accounting for Health

What is the relationship between expenditure on healthcare systems and health outcomes? This relationship has attracted particular attention because, in many countries, expenditure on healthcare is rising faster than income. In addition, with increasingly constrained economic and financial circumstances the need to maximise health outcomes is ever more pressing. This report on the drivers of health outcomes reviews why some countries with the same level of income produce better health outcomes than others.
