Peru's health expenditure per capita stood at $503 in 2025, a rise of +$58 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $503 by 2025. Peru ranked 100th globally.
Peru's health expenditure per capita experienced a significant increase over the past 25 years, reaching a peak of $503.04 in 2025. This represents a substantial rise from the trough of $83.64 in 2000, with the country's spending on healthcare per person growing by approximately 504%. In comparison, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, a peer country, surpassed Peru's spending with a value of $518.42 in 2025. The increase in health expenditure per capita in Peru is likely attributed to the country's growing economy, improved access to healthcare services, and increased investment in the sector. However, the country's health expenditure per capita remains lower than some of its regional peers, such as Ecuador, which spent $523.44 per capita in 2025. To sustain this growth and improve healthcare outcomes, Peru will need to continue investing in its healthcare infrastructure and addressing the remaining healthcare disparities, particularly in rural areas.
