292 Economic crisis, health systems and health in Europe: country experience The private expenditure share of total health expenditure slightly increased from 35% in 2008 to 37.4% in 2012 (Table 9.3). Total private expenditure in 2011 came from OOP payments (29% of total spending), PHI (3%), private health subsystems (1.9%) and other sources 0.5% (Fig. 9.5).
