Current health expenditure per capita SH.XPD.CHEX.PC.CD

Overview
Mongolia's health expenditure per capita stood at $538 in 2025, a rise of +$179 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $538 by 2025. Mongolia ranked 94th globally.
Mongolia’s health expenditure per capita has risen sharply from a low of 28.14 in 2000 to a record 538.26 in 2025, placing it 94th globally and narrowly behind peer nations such as Grenada (539.09) and Moldova (537.67). The all‑time trough of 27.19 occurred in 2003, after which a sustained upward trajectory began, accelerating markedly in the 2010s as the government expanded universal health coverage and invested in hospital infrastructure. The 2025 peak reflects both higher public spending and increased private out‑of‑pocket contributions, aligning Mongolia’s per‑capita spending with that of Botswana (534.46) despite its smaller population. Over the 25‑year coverage span, the average annual growth rate exceeds 12 percent, outpacing many regional counterparts. Continued fiscal consolidation and targeted reforms in primary care could preserve this upward momentum, while any slowdown in economic growth or external shocks might temper future increases.
