  2. Notes: GDP pc gross domestic product per capita, GHES pc government health expenditure as source per capita, Pooled/THE government and prepaid private spending as a share of total health expenditure. GDP pc and GHES pc are average over 2002–2004, reported in 2017 purchasing power parity international dollars. None of the three controls are statistically significant in any regression at the 0.05 level
