Overview
Georgia's health spending stood at 7.71% in 2025, a rise of +0.85% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 7.71% by 2025. Georgia ranked 77th globally.
Georgia's health spending has experienced fluctuations over the past two and a half decades, with a notable peak in 2021 when it reached 10.54 percent of the country's GDP. This increase was likely driven by efforts to address the COVID-19 pandemic and enhance the country's healthcare system. Conversely, the trough in 2023 saw a decline to 6.86 percent, indicating a possible reduction in public health expenditures. The latest figure, at 7.71 percent in 2025, places Georgia 77th globally, a position closely matched by its peer countries Colombia and Estonia, which ranked 78th and 76th, respectively. The recent decline in health spending has raised concerns about the country's ability to maintain its healthcare infrastructure and respond to emerging health crises. A sustained increase in public health expenditures or a strengthening of the healthcare sector is necessary to reverse this trend and ensure that Georgia's healthcare system is adequately equipped to handle future challenges.
