Current health expenditure per capita SH.XPD.CHEX.PC.CD
Oman's health expenditure per capita was $718 in 2025, ranked 76th globally. This represents a 1.9% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2000–2025.
Overview
Oman's health expenditure per capita stood at $718 in 2025, a decline of +$14 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $718 by 2025. Oman ranked 76th globally.
Oman’s health expenditure per capita has risen markedly over the 25‑year series, climbing from a low of 259.59 in 2001 to a peak of 859.25 in 2020 before easing to 717.98 in 2025, which places the country 76th in the world. The early‑2000s trough reflects limited fiscal capacity and a nascent health system, while the 2020 apex coincided with expanded public spending on hospitals, primary‑care networks and pandemic‑related health measures. The subsequent moderation to 717.98 still exceeds the 2000 level of 261.88 and aligns closely with peers such as North Macedonia (719.92) and Brunei Darussalam (716.34), indicating that Oman now spends at a comparable level to middle‑income economies with similar population sizes. The sustained upward trajectory suggests that continued investment in health infrastructure and preventive services could maintain or further raise per‑capita spending, especially if economic diversification reduces reliance on oil revenues and supports broader fiscal space for health.
