Overview
Azerbaijan's health expenditure per capita stood at $338 in 2025, a rise of +$38 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $338 by 2025. Azerbaijan ranked 111th globally.
Azerbaijan’s health expenditure per capita rose from $19.02 in 2000 to $338.28 in 2025, marking a 1,677 percent increase over 25 years and positioning the country at rank 111 globally. The 2025 figure represents both the latest observation and the all‑time peak, while the 2000 level remains the all‑time trough, illustrating a sustained upward trajectory that outpaces many regional peers. By comparison, neighboring Iraq recorded $358.86 per capita in the same year, and Cabo Verde posted $344.17, indicating that Azerbaijan’s spending is now close to the level of these peers despite a lower ranking. The sharp rise reflects expanded public financing, higher private contributions, and reforms aimed at broadening service coverage, although the absolute level remains modest relative to high‑income economies. Continued economic diversification, rising per‑capita income, and further health‑system reforms could maintain the upward trend, while fiscal constraints or external shocks might temper future growth.
