Section 3: What are the sources of health financing in each country or income group? #4

An issue to track our discussion on what should be included in this section, methodology, etc.

What is the role of external aid?
What is the role of domestic financing?
What is the role of out-of-pocket expenditure?

The three sources of health expenditure are:

domestic general government (GGHE-D): the domestic public sources, including transfers from domestic government revenue and social insurance contributions.
domestic private (PVT-D): private domestic sources, including unspecified and compulsory prepayment other than social insurance contributions, voluntary prepayment, other domestic revenues and unspecified revenues of health care financing schemes.
external (EXT): external aid including transfers distributed by the government of funds of foreign origin and direct foreign transfers

Out-of-pocket (OOPS) is not included in the sources, but is a considered a financing scheme. According to pg. 12 of the GHED Methodology, PVT-D is the sum of OOPs and others. So I believe we would be able to parse out OOPS from PVT-D for this analysis.

Stacked bar chart, similar to this showing GGHE-D, External Aid, Private expenditure, and Out-of-pocket. Years on x-axis. Dropdown to show groupings by: total (all countries, income groups, Africa (all countries with data), and individual countries where possible.

Or something similar to this, by income group with different sources? I'm not sure whats possible, but would be helpful to show breakdown of financing sources and how they differ across income groups.

Display the composition of health spending. Provide an option to see by income level (and by country) (pre-select income levels but other individual countries can be added to view). Same as section1: over time. 2000/1 to 2020

Chart 1 needs to show:

External aid (EXT)
Domestic government spending (gghed)
Out of pocket spending (oops)
Other domestic private spending (pvtd - oops)

Chart 2:

comparison/difference between external aid and domestic government spending. What would be the best viz?

Could something like this work? And filter by income level or continent. Bubbles are individual countries
