Note: Mean values are used in the analysis. Ranges for estimates are reported in parentheses. Europe and Central Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East and North Africa are limited to one observation for each region, which may not be indicative of the cost per FIC in each region. However, in lieu of using region-specific estimates, the overall average (US$13.65) would be applied, which may underestimate the cost per FIC in these more developed regions, where higher unit costs for delivery of health services would be expected.
