Overview
Central African Republic's health expenditure per capita stood at $62 in 2025, a rise of +$8 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $62 by 2025. Central African Republic ranked 167th globally.
Central African Republic’s health expenditure per capita has risen dramatically over the 25‑year span from 9.91 in 2000 to a record 61.83 in 2025, placing the country at 167th in the global ranking. The all‑time trough of 9.21 occurred in 2001, shortly after the early‑2000s financial crisis, after which modest increases were punctuated by a steep climb beginning in the mid‑2010s as international donors expanded assistance for primary care and vaccine programs. By 2025 the level of 61.83 matches the spending of Bangladesh (61.80) and approaches that of Afghanistan (63.31) and Togo (63.76), indicating that the Central African Republic has moved into the same bracket as other low‑income states that have recently accelerated health financing. The upward trajectory reflects both higher government allocations and greater external funding; sustaining this growth will likely depend on continued fiscal stability, improved tax collection, and the maintenance of donor commitments, which together could push per‑capita health spending beyond the current peak in the coming years.
