Like Brazil, Turkey spends about $1,200 per
capita on health. In demographic terms, other
similarities can be observed: the population
over 65 years old is close to 9.0% in both
countries, away from the demographic trend
of aging in Europe, where the OECD average
for a set of 36 countries is 17.4%.
However, the share of health
expenditure in relation to GDP is different: in
the first 9.2% and in the second only 4.2%,
although, this percentage in the case of Turkey
considers that most of the spending comes
from public sources (about 80%), while in
Brazil only 43%
