The ratio of the expected lifetimes at birth to health care spending per capita indicates that the Russian Federation performs poorly when compared with OECD countries (Figure 3.15). Similarly, there is no strong relationship between public health spending and life expectancy at birth at the regional levels: regions with high levels of health care spending do not necessarily perform better than low spending ones (Figure 3.16). Estimations based on federal treasury data and federal MHI fund data.
