Senegal's health expenditure per capita has experienced a relatively stable growth trajectory over the past two and a half decades. Starting at 21.42 in 2000, the country's per capita spending on health has increased to 71.89 in 2025, placing it at 160th globally. This growth can be attributed in part to the country's all-time peak of 75.17 in 2020, which suggests a positive trend in the years leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic. In comparison, the Republic of Congo, a peer country, also reports a health expenditure per capita of 72.07, indicating relatively similar spending patterns. Senegal's growth in health expenditure per capita is in line with its economic development, with the country experiencing moderate economic growth over the past few years. However, future investments in healthcare infrastructure and human resources may be necessary to sustain this growth and address the country's ongoing healthcare challenges, potentially altering the trajectory of Senegal's health expenditure per capita.
