Overview
Djibouti's health expenditure per capita stood at $88 in 2025, a rise of +$10 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $88 by 2025. Djibouti ranked 152nd globally.
Djibouti’s health expenditure per capita has risen steadily over the 25‑year series, climbing from 35.49 in 2000 to an all‑time peak of 88.04 in 2025, which also represents its latest figure and places the country 152nd in the global ranking. The trough of 33.61 recorded in 2001 marked the lowest point after the early‑2000s downturn, but subsequent fiscal commitments have more than doubled per‑capita spending. Compared with regional peers, Djibouti’s 2025 level is slightly below Kenya’s 89.80 and Cameroon’s 89.59, yet above Nigeria’s 82.81, suggesting a convergence toward the spending patterns of higher‑ranked East African economies. The upward trajectory reflects expanding public health programs and increased donor assistance, although the modest gap with neighbouring countries indicates room for further investment. Continued economic growth and sustained budgetary prioritisation of health are likely to keep the per‑capita outlay on an upward path, potentially narrowing the disparity with its peers.
