Overview
Chad's health expenditure per capita stood at $53 in 2025, a rise of +$6 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $53 by 2025. Chad ranked 171st globally.
Chad’s health expenditure per capita has risen dramatically over the 25‑year series, climbing from a trough of 10.07 in 2000 to an all‑time peak of 53.37 in 2025, placing the country at rank 171 globally. This increase represents more than a five‑fold rise and reflects a sustained upward trajectory that outpaced many low‑income peers; for example, Uganda recorded 53.14 and Mozambique 58.80 in the same year. The acceleration accelerated after the early 2010s, when regional health initiatives and modest fiscal reforms began to expand public spending on medical services and preventive care. Despite the progress, Chad’s per‑capita spending remains below the sub‑Saharan African average, indicating limited capacity to meet growing demand for health infrastructure and personnel. Continued improvement will likely depend on the government’s ability to mobilize domestic resources and secure external assistance, which could further lift per‑capita health outlays and narrow the gap with higher‑spending neighbours.
