Total and incremental costs of the DCP3 model health benefits packages in LICs and lower-MICs

	LICs*		Lower-MICs*
	HPP	EUHC	HPP	EUHC
Incremental annual cost*, billions US$	$27 (19–38)	$57 (41–80)	$120 (80–170)	$250 (170–350)
Incremental annual cost per capita	$30 (21–42)	$64 (46–90)	$43 (30–62)	$92 (65–130)
Total annual cost*, billions US$	$36 (27–48)	$71 (54–95)	$180 (140–240)	$350 (270–470)
Total annual cost per capita	$40 (30–54)	$79 (60–110)	$69 (52–92)	$130 (100–180)
Incremental annual cost as a share of 2015 GNI per capita	3·7% (2·6–5·3)	8·0% (5·7–11·3)	2·0% (1·4–2·8)	4·2% (2·9–5·9)
Total annual cost as a share of 2015 GNI per capita	5·1% (3·8–6·8)	10·0% (7·5–13·3)	3·1% (2·3–4·1)	6·0% (4·5–8·0)

All costs are in 2016 US dollars rounded to two significant figures. In 2015, LICs had a population of 0·90 billion and a GNI of US$0·70 trillion, and lower-MICs had a population of 2·7 billion and a GNI of US$5·9 trillion. Across all LICs and lower-MICs, the incremental annual cost of EUHC would be US$310 billion (population-weighted mean $85 per capita), and the total annual cost of EUHC would be US$420 billion (population-weighted mean $120 per capita). Values in parenthesis represent the 95% credible intervals computed in the probabilistic sensitivity analysis. DCP3=Disease Control Priorities, 3rd edition. LIC=low-income country. Lower-MIC=lower-middle-income country. HPP=highest priority package. EUHC=essential universal health coverage. GNI=gross national income.

^*Incremental and total cost estimates reflect a target of 80% population coverage.
