Overview
Albania's health expenditure per capita stood at $689 in 2025, a rise of +$98 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $689 by 2025. Albania ranked 79th globally.
Albania’s health expenditure per capita has risen dramatically over the 25‑year span from 2000 to 2025, climbing from a trough of 65.48 in 2000 to an all‑time peak of 688.82 in 2025, which places the country at rank 79 globally. This increase represents more than a ten‑fold rise and reflects sustained public and private investment in health services, aligning Albania with regional peers such as Georgia, whose 2025 spending reached 705.12, and Turkmenistan at 679.58. The upward trajectory coincides with broader reforms in the Albanian health system, including expanded insurance coverage and infrastructure upgrades, which have helped to close the gap with higher‑spending nations. While the growth rate has accelerated in recent years, maintaining this momentum will depend on fiscal capacity, demographic pressures, and the efficiency of spending. Continued policy focus on cost‑effective delivery and preventive care could further boost per‑capita health outlays and improve outcomes.
