This indicator reflects the proportion of public funds allocated to health services sourced from domestic revenues compared to the overall public spending. By measuring this share, it provides insight into the government's prioritization of health as a critical component of its budgetary strategy. A higher percentage suggests that the government is committed to advancing healthcare access and quality for its citizens, which can lead to improved public health outcomes. Furthermore, this metric can serve as a benchmark for assessing the robustness of a country’s healthcare financing system, highlighting the potential for increased investment in health initiatives and the sustainability of health services in the face of changing economic pressures.
