Low income countries
In Bangladesh, high out of pocket expenditure on purchase of pharmaceuticals has been a distinctive feature of household health expenditures over a long time period. The relatively low level of public funding combined with a small private insurance market has forced households to bear a very large proportion of national health expenditure through out-of-pocket payments. All low income countries have public funding which is less than 50% of the total, relatively minor funding by private insurance and high levels of out-of pocket payments. Many low income countries rely on donor funding and provision of services by faith-based charities. Other private expenditure, largely private insurance pmissionaryremiums, also has the potential to restrict access and impoverish households.

One of the 10 poorest countries in the world, Mali's life expectancy at birth is 51 years. Mali is dependent on international development organizations and foreign groups for much of its health care. The total expenditure on health makes up only 5% of the national GDP and Mali has 1 hospital bed per 10,000 people. This health crisis is compounded by high levels of poverty - over 50% of the population lives on less than $1 a day and low levels of literacy - with a literacy rate of 26%.
