Current health expenditure per capita SH.XPD.CHEX.PC.CD
Mozambique's health expenditure per capita was $59 in 2025, ranked 169th globally. This represents a 11.0% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2000–2025.
Overview
Mozambique's health expenditure per capita stood at $59 in 2025, a rise of +$6 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $59 by 2025. Mozambique ranked 169th globally.
Mozambique’s health expenditure per capita has risen dramatically over the 25‑year span from US$7.01 in 2000 to US$58.80 in 2025, marking the all‑time peak and placing the country at rank 169 globally. This increase represents more than an eight‑fold rise and reflects sustained public and donor investment in health infrastructure, disease control programmes and primary‑care expansion. Compared with peers of similar ranking, Mozambique’s 2025 spending slightly exceeds Haiti’s US$57.72 and falls just below Bangladesh’s US$61.80, suggesting that its financing levels are converging with other low‑income economies that have pursued ambitious health agendas. The upward trajectory coincides with broader regional efforts to achieve universal health coverage and improve maternal and child health outcomes. Continued growth will depend on fiscal space, effective allocation of resources and resilience against external shocks; maintaining or accelerating current spending patterns could further narrow the gap with higher‑spending peers and enhance health service delivery.
