Current health expenditure per capita SH.XPD.CHEX.PC.CD
Tunisia's health expenditure per capita was $363 in 2025, ranked 108th globally. This represents a 14.3% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2000–2025.
Overview
Tunisia's health expenditure per capita stood at $363 in 2025, a rise of +$45 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $363 by 2025. Tunisia ranked 108th globally.
Tunisia’s health expenditure per capita has risen steadily over the 25‑year span from US$111.01 in 2000 to a record US$363.00 in 2025, placing the country at 108th in the world ranking. This increase reflects a more than threefold expansion of public and private spending on medical services, pharmaceuticals and preventive care, outpacing many regional peers. Jordan, for example, recorded US$369.49 per capita in the same year, while Iraq reported US$358.86, indicating that Tunisia now competes closely with its neighbors at the upper end of the regional distribution. The all‑time peak coincides with the post‑Arab Spring era, when reforms in health financing and expanded insurance coverage were implemented, whereas the trough in 2000 corresponded to a period of limited fiscal capacity and lower demand for services. If fiscal consolidation is balanced with continued investment in primary care and digital health, the upward trajectory is likely to persist, potentially moving Tunisia into the top‑hundred bracket in the near future.
