Overview
Indonesia's health spending stood at 2.65% in 2025, a decline of +0.05% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 2.65% by 2025. Indonesia ranked 181st globally.
Indonesia's health spending has experienced a considerable increase over the past two decades, from 1.85 percent of its GDP in 2000 to a peak of 3.71 percent in 2021. Notably, this growth is mirrored in other developing countries, such as Pakistan, where health spending reached 2.56 percent of GDP in 2025. However, Indonesia's health spending has slightly declined to 2.65 percent of GDP in 2025, ranking 181 globally. This fluctuation contrasts with the steady growth experienced by some of its regional peers, such as Lebanon, where health spending remained relatively consistent at 2.69 percent of GDP in 2025. The recent decline in Indonesia's health spending may be attributed to various factors, including economic constraints and shifts in government priorities. A significant improvement in Indonesia's health infrastructure and human resource capacity could potentially alter this trajectory and propel the country towards a healthier economic and social future.
