Current health expenditure per capita SH.XPD.CHEX.PC.CD
Sudan's health expenditure per capita was $17 in 2025, ranked 188th globally. This represents a 18.4% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2000–2025.
Overview
Sudan's health expenditure per capita stood at $17 in 2025, a decline of +$4 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $17 by 2025. Sudan ranked 188th globally.
Sudan's health expenditure per capita has fluctuated significantly over the past two and a half decades. At 17.21 USD per capita in 2025, the country ranks 188th globally. The all-time peak, which occurred in 2013 at 97.49 USD per capita, was more than seven times the 2000 value of 13.99 USD per capita, indicating a substantial improvement in health spending during this period. Notably, Sudan's health expenditure per capita remains lower than that of some of its regional peers, such as Madagascar, which ranked 173rd globally in 2025 at 17.73 USD per capita. In contrast, Lebanon, a country with a significantly higher GDP per capita, had a negative health expenditure per capita of -102.56 USD in 2025, highlighting the challenges faced by countries with high income inequality and economic instability. A decline in international aid or a decrease in government expenditure on healthcare could potentially hinder Sudan's progress in improving its health expenditure per capita.
