The dataset contains current total, household's and public sector' health care expenditures per person by service (HC) groups in euros based on the international SHA 2011 methodology. Data include health care activities such as acute care, rehabilitation, nursing care, support services, expenditures on medical products, prevention, and healthcare system administration. Current health care expenditures do not include capital expenditures, expenditures on healthcare research and development, environmental health, and other services whose primary activity is not improving health. Also excluding foreigners' costs of health services and medical products in Estonia. The data come mainly from administrative sources: annual reports on the execution of the state and local government budgets, health expenditure in the administrative area of ministries, Estonian Health Insurance Fund's and insurance companies' expenditure data, information from the Ministry of Social Affairs on foreign aid projects, projects financed through the Ministry of Finance from the gambling tax, and health expenditure by welfare institutions. The basis for out-of-pocket health expenditure is the statistical reports on the economic activities and service provision of health service providers collected by the NIHD. The aim of data collection is to provide a comparable overview of Estonian health expenditure and to support health policy monitoring, planning and international comparison. Data source: NIHD
