Overview
West Bank and Gaza's health expenditure per capita stood at $376 in 2025, a rise of +$30 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $376 by 2025. West Bank and Gaza ranked 106th globally.
West Bank and Gaza’s health expenditure per capita has risen markedly over the 25‑year series, climbing from 129.55 in 2000 to an all‑time peak of 375.51 in 2025, which places the territory at rank 106 globally. The lowest point occurred in 2003 with 111.62, underscoring a long‑term upward trajectory that outpaces many regional peers; for example, Jordan recorded 369.49 and Tunisia 363.00 in the same year. The steady increase reflects expanded public financing, greater donor contributions, and rising demand for services amid a growing population. Although the latest figure still trails the highest peer, Namibia, which reached 412.55, the gap has narrowed as West Bank and Gaza continue to invest in primary care and hospital infrastructure. Maintaining this pace will likely require sustained fiscal commitment and improvements in efficiency; any slowdown in funding or heightened political instability could reverse the positive trend.
