This indicator measures the expenditure on the health care function "long-term care (health)" (SHA HC.3) by the health care financing schemes "rest of the world financing schemes" (SHA HF.4) in million national currency units following the System of Health Accounts (SHA; OECD et al. 2011). Expenditure refers to the payments related to the final consumption of all health care goods and services by the resident units. Long-term care (health) consists of a range of medical and personal care services that are consumed with the primary goal of alleviating pain and suffering and reducing or managing the deterioration in health status in patients with a degree of long-term dependency. Rest of the world financing schemes comprise financial arrangements involving institutional units (or managed by institutional units) that are resident abroad, but who collect, pool resources and purchase health care goods and services on behalf of residents, without transiting their funds through a resident scheme.
