Overview
Moldova's health expenditure per capita stood at $538 in 2025, a rise of +$86 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $538 by 2025. Moldova ranked 95th globally.
Moldova’s health expenditure per capita has risen dramatically from a low of 21.38 in 2000 to an all‑time peak of 537.67 in 2025, placing the country 95th globally and just below peers such as Mongolia (538.26) and Botswana (534.46). Over the 25‑year coverage period the average annual increase exceeds 20 percent, reflecting expanded public financing, greater reliance on external health aid, and reforms that broadened insurance coverage. The steep ascent contrasts sharply with the early‑2000s, when limited fiscal capacity and a largely out‑of‑pocket payment system kept per‑capita spending at historic trough levels. While the 2025 figure marks a significant convergence with middle‑income benchmarks, sustaining this trajectory will depend on maintaining macro‑fiscal stability, improving efficiency of service delivery, and addressing demographic pressures that could otherwise dampen future growth in health spending.
