Côte d'Ivoire Health Expenditure per Capita

Côte d’Ivoire’s health expenditure per capita rose from $30.33 in 2000 to $100.32 in 2025, marking a three‑fold increase over the 25‑year span and setting the all‑time peak at the most recent observation. This level places the country at rank 145 globally, just below peers such as Angola ($101.96) and India ($99.52), indicating that Ivory Coast is converging toward the spending patterns of middle‑income economies in sub‑Saharan Africa and South Asia. The sustained upward trajectory reflects expanded public financing, higher per‑capita income and greater prioritisation of health services following the post‑conflict reconstruction period of the early 2000s. Nevertheless, the gap with the regional leader, Nepal ($106.22), suggests room for further investment, particularly in primary care and preventive programmes. Continuation of fiscal reforms and stronger domestic resource mobilisation are likely to keep the upward trend, while any slowdown in economic growth or external shocks could temper progress.
