Overview
Antigua and Barbuda's health expenditure per capita stood at $883 in 2025, a rise of +$42 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $883 by 2025. Antigua and Barbuda ranked 69th globally.
Antigua and Barbuda’s health expenditure per capita has risen steadily over the 25‑year series, climbing from a trough of 520.12 in 2000 to a peak of 891.00 in 2022 before settling at 883.27 in 2025, which places the country 69th globally. This upward trajectory reflects a gradual deepening of public and private spending on health services, outpacing many small island economies while still lagging behind larger peers such as China, whose 2025 per‑capita health outlay reached 910.71. The modest decline from the 2022 high suggests that the post‑pandemic fiscal adjustments may have tempered growth, yet the level remains well above the early‑2000s baseline. Compared with Bosnia and Herzegovina (865.84) and Armenia (863.72), Antigua and Barbuda now occupies a slightly higher spending tier, indicating convergence with middle‑income benchmarks. Continued economic diversification and targeted health reforms could sustain the modest upward trend, while fiscal pressures or external shocks would likely reverse it.
