In response to <i>Ganesh .R</i>:
<p>India does not appear in the list as the source of this data did not have this information, not because India spends too little to register on this statistic.</p>
<p>According to the 1995 World Bank study, healthcare expenditure for India was 6 percent of GDP which is equivalent to Rs320 (approx $US9.60) per capita per year. At that time, the major component of healthcare spending came from private households (75%), State governments contributed 15.2 percent and the central government contributed 5.2 percent. The remainder was contributed by third party insurance, employers, municipal government and foreign donors.</p>
Currently <a href=/graph/hea_spe_pri>private</a> healthcare spending is 4.2% of GDP.
