Figure 21: Out of pocket (OOP) expenditure per capita in current USD
Figure 22 maps the proportion of population at risk of catastrophic expenditure when surgical
care is required. Here, the catastrophic expenditure is defined as direct out of pocket payments
for surgical and anaesthesia care exceeding 10% of total income. The indicator underscores the
risk implications of accessing health care and in a very practical way combines information about
income, health expenses and non-health expenses. The indicator does not have data for all OIC
member countries.
