Abstract :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 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(about 80%);, while in Brazil only 43%
