Fiji's health expenditure per capita was $205 in 2025, ranked 127th globally. This represents a 3.5% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2000–2025.
Overview
Fiji's health expenditure per capita stood at $205 in 2025, a decline of +$8 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $205 by 2025. Fiji ranked 127th globally.
Fiji’s health expenditure per capita has risen from US$74.29 in 2000 to US$205.34 in 2025, placing the country 127th globally. The upward trajectory peaked in 2021 at US$331.58 before a modest decline, reflecting the post‑pandemic fiscal adjustments that affected many Pacific nations. The lowest point occurred in 2001 at US$61.50, a level that underscored limited public health financing at the turn of the millennium. Over the 25‑year span, Fiji’s spending now aligns closely with Timor‑Leste’s US$205.07 and sits just below Vietnam’s US$210.43, suggesting a convergence among lower‑middle‑income economies in the region. Despite the recent dip from the 2021 high, the long‑run trend remains positive, driven by expanding insurance coverage and incremental budget allocations. Continued investment in primary care and preventive services will be crucial to sustain the upward momentum and narrow the gap with higher‑spending peers such as the Philippines.
