Overview
Bosnia and Herzegovina's health expenditure per capita stood at $866 in 2025, a rise of +$93 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $866 by 2025. Bosnia and Herzegovina ranked 70th globally.
Bosnia and Herzegovina’s health expenditure per capita has risen sharply over the 25‑year series, climbing from 106.58 in 2000 to an all‑time peak of 865.84 in 2025, the highest level recorded since the trough of 105.11 in 2001. This increase places the country at rank 70 globally, marginally below Armenia’s 863.72 and just above China’s 910.71 when adjusted for purchasing power parity. The upward trajectory reflects expanded public financing, greater private sector participation, and higher unit costs for medicines and hospital services, consistent with broader regional trends in post‑conflict health system reconstruction. Compared with peer nations such as Antigua and Barbuda (883.27) and Mexico (835.94), Bosnia and Herzegovina’s spending remains competitive, though still modest relative to high‑income benchmarks. Continued fiscal consolidation, demographic aging, and potential reforms in cost‑containment mechanisms will likely shape whether the current growth in per‑capita health outlays sustains, accelerates, or plateaus in the coming decade.
