Overview
Jordan's health expenditure per capita stood at $369 in 2025, a rise of +$27 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $369 by 2025. Jordan ranked 107th globally.
Jordan’s health expenditure per capita has risen from US$151.33 in 2000 to US$369.49 in 2025, marking a 144 % increase over the 25‑year series and establishing the 2025 figure as the all‑time peak. The latest value places Jordan at rank 107 globally, just below the West Bank and Gaza (US$375.51) and Tunisia (US$363.00) and slightly beneath Thailand (US$387.37). The upward trajectory reflects sustained public and private investment in medical infrastructure, expanded insurance coverage, and higher per‑capita income, while the early‑2000s trough coincided with limited fiscal capacity and lower demand for advanced services. Compared with regional peers such as Iraq (US$358.86), Jordan’s spending remains competitive, suggesting effective allocation of resources despite modest economic size. Continued growth will likely depend on fiscal reforms, demographic pressures and the extent to which new technologies are adopted, which could either accelerate or moderate the current upward trend.
