Cost Simulation Tool for Long-Term Care Systems in Latin America and the Caribbean

By Health, Nutrition and Population Division (VPS/SCL/HNP)

The cost simulation tool for long-term care systems provides a way to quickly estimate how much it would cost governments in Latin America and the Caribbean to implement this type of system. It can also be used to compare different service packages and make projections. The dataset contains data on population, levels of care dependence, and other macroeconomic variables that are processed by formulas to allow users to quickly estimate how much it would cost a government to implement a long-term care system in 2020. Users can estimate the cost of up to two long-term care service packages and project costs for 2025 and 2030.
