Current health expenditure per capita SH.XPD.CHEX.PC.CD
Syrian Arab Republic's health expenditure per capita was $35 in 2025, ranked 175th globally. This represents a 6.3% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2000–2025.
Overview
Syrian Arab Republic's health expenditure per capita stood at $35 in 2025, a rise of +$2 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $35 by 2025. Syrian Arab Republic ranked 175th globally.
Syrian Arab Republic’s health expenditure per capita has fallen sharply over the past quarter‑century, declining from 53.69 in 2000 to a low of 27.41 in 2016, the all‑time trough, before modestly recovering to 35.45 in 2025, which places the country 175th globally. The peak of 91.55 in 2010, recorded during a period of relatively higher public spending, was more than three times the 2025 level, reflecting the severe fiscal pressures and conflict‑related disruptions that followed. Compared with regional peers, Syria’s 2025 figure is slightly above Tanzania’s 34.99 but well below Malawi’s 43.94, underscoring a persistent gap in per‑capita health financing. The long‑term downward trajectory suggests that without substantial increases in domestic revenue mobilization or external assistance, per‑capita health spending is likely to remain constrained, limiting improvements in health outcomes.
