Honduras Health Expenditure per Capita
Current health expenditure per capita SH.XPD.CHEX.PC.CD
Honduras's health expenditure per capita was $294 in 2025, ranked 114th globally. This represents a 18.0% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2000–2025.
Overview
Honduras's health expenditure per capita stood at $294 in 2025, a rise of +$45 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $294 by 2025. Honduras ranked 114th globally.
Honduras’ health expenditure per capita rose from US$68.48 in 2000 to a record US$294.02 in 2025, placing the country 114th globally and marking the highest level in the 25‑year series. The modest trough of US$67.14 in 2001 was quickly eclipsed as fiscal allocations to health accelerated, reflecting broader regional efforts to expand universal coverage. By 2025 Honduras’ spending sits just below that of Eswatini (US$287.02) and marginally lower than Belize (US$315.30), indicating convergence with middle‑income peers despite its lower gross domestic product. The sustained upward trajectory suggests that continued public investment and potential external financing could further narrow the gap with higher‑spending neighbors, while any fiscal tightening or adverse economic shocks could stall progress.
