Public Health Expenditure in Bahia Municipalities, 2009-2012

Bahia state's public health expenditures across municipalities, regions, and macro-regions from 2009 to 2012. The data, analyzed using the National Health Accounts model, shows a 28% increase in municipal spending over the four-year period. Author Andrei Souza Teles found spending was concentrated in macro-regions with higher installed capacity but remained insufficient relative to population needs.

Use Cases

• Analyzing trends in public health spending over time based on the 2009-2012 time series.
• Identifying regional inequalities in per capita health expenditure across municipalities and macro-regions.
• Evaluating the relationship between installed healthcare capacity and resource allocation mentioned in the description.
• Modeling the sufficiency of health inputs relative to population size in different localities.

Strengths

• Covers a four-year time period (2009-2012) for longitudinal analysis.
• Includes analysis at three geographic levels: municipalities, regions, and macro-regions.
• Based on a specific accounting model (National Health Accounts) for consistency.
