Overview
Turkmenistan's health expenditure per capita stood at $680 in 2025, a rise of +$98 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $680 by 2025. Turkmenistan ranked 80th globally.
Turkmenistan’s health expenditure per capita has risen sharply over the 25‑year series, climbing from a trough of 75.52 in 2000 to an all‑time peak of 679.58 in 2025, placing the country at rank 80 globally. This ten‑fold increase reflects sustained fiscal prioritisation of health services, outpacing many regional peers; for example, Albania recorded 688.82 and Colombia 659.79 in the same year. The upward trajectory aligns with broader government spending reforms introduced in the early 2010s, which expanded public financing for hospitals and preventive care. Despite the progress, Turkmenistan’s per‑capita spending remains modest compared with higher‑spending peers such as Georgia (705.12) and Belarus (648.29), indicating room for further investment. Continued growth will likely depend on macro‑economic stability, diversification of revenue sources, and the implementation of efficiency‑enhancing health reforms, which could sustain or accelerate the current upward trend.
