Guinea Health Expenditure per Capita
Current health expenditure per capita SH.XPD.CHEX.PC.CD
Guinea's health expenditure per capita was $67 in 2025, ranked 161st globally. This represents a 12.3% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2000–2025.
Overview
Guinea's health expenditure per capita stood at $67 in 2025, a rise of +$7 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $67 by 2025. Guinea ranked 161st globally.
Guinea’s health expenditure per capita has risen from a low of 16.16 in 2006 to a peak of 66.60 in 2025, placing the country at 161st in the world out of more than 190 economies. Over the 25‑year series, the average annual increase amounts to roughly 2.0 units, reflecting modest but steady fiscal commitment to health services. The latest figure of 66.60 remains below the spending levels of close peers such as Senegal (71.89) and the Republic of Congo (72.07), indicating that Guinea still lags behind regional comparators despite the upward trajectory. The early‑2000s trough coincided with limited fiscal space and higher disease burdens, while the post‑2010 period saw gradual improvements in tax collection and external assistance that helped lift per‑capita spending. Continued growth will likely depend on expanding domestic revenue, strengthening health insurance schemes, and maintaining donor support, which together could accelerate the upward trend and narrow the gap with neighboring countries.
