Overview
Grenada's health expenditure per capita stood at $539 in 2025, a rise of +$13 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $539 by 2025. Grenada ranked 93rd globally.
Grenada’s health expenditure per capita has risen steadily over the 25‑year span from US$259.34 in 2000 to US$539.09 in 2025, representing the all‑time peak and placing the country 93rd in the world ranking. This more than doubling of spending reflects gradual fiscal prioritisation of health services, yet the level remains modest compared with peer nations such as Dominica (US$552.34) and Mongolia (US$538.26). The upward trajectory mirrors regional trends in small island developing states that have expanded public health budgets in response to demographic ageing and the lingering effects of the COVID‑19 pandemic. While Grenada’s per‑capita outlay is now close to that of Mongolia, it still trails Türkiye (US$555.15) and Moldova (US$537.67), indicating room for further investment to match higher‑spending peers. Continued economic growth and targeted health reforms could sustain the rise, whereas fiscal constraints or external shocks might halt or reverse the progress.
