THE STATE OF HEALTH in the WHO African Region: An analysis of the status of health, health services and health systems in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals
A complex picture of the African Region emerges from the ndings of this analysis. Looking at the level of
funding available for countries to produce the results observed (using the per capita THE in USµ PPP),
one sees a mixed situation: only nine countries in the Region are spending above USµ per capita (all, with
the exception of Eswatini, are upper middle or high-income countries), and half the countries () have a total
health expenditure of less than USµ per capita.
