Abstract

The GBD 2016 Healthcare Access and quality collaborators group has introduced the Healthcare Access and Quality (HAQ) index and ranked 195 countries and territories based on this index methodology.1 We have measured the link between health care system performance and financing. The Pearson correlation (r) was calculated between the HAQ index and current health expenditure per capita in purchasing power parity international dollars. Data for the latter were obtained from the Global Health Observatory.2 We observed a strong and statistically significant correlation (r = 0.775, P < 0.001) between financing of health care systems and their performance (data are available from the authors upon request).
