Current health expenditure per capita SH.XPD.CHEX.PC.CD
Belarus's health expenditure per capita was $648 in 2025, ranked 82nd globally. This represents a 16.1% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2000–2025.
Overview
Belarus's health expenditure per capita stood at $648 in 2025, a rise of +$90 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $648 by 2025. Belarus ranked 82nd globally.
Belarus’ health expenditure per capita rose from $57.03 in 2000 to $648.29 in 2025, marking the highest level recorded over the 25‑year series and placing the country 82nd in the world ranking for the latest year. This ten‑fold increase reflects sustained public spending growth, outpacing many regional peers; for example, Colombia recorded $659.79 per capita in the same year, while Jamaica’s figure stood at $608.07. The upward trajectory began after the early 2000s trough and accelerated during the 2010s as the government expanded universal health coverage and invested in hospital modernization. Although Belarus still lags behind Turkmenistan’s $679.58, the continued rise suggests further convergence with higher‑spending peers, provided fiscal capacity remains strong and reforms to improve efficiency are implemented.
