List of countries by total health expenditure per capita

From Tilcayo Cats, the lean encyclopaedia by Tilcayo Knowledge Systems

This article includes 2 lists of countries of the world and their total expenditure on health per capita. Total expenditure includes both public and private expenditures. See also: Health spending as percent of gross domestic product (GDP) by country.

The first table uses OECD data and lists member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and a few other countries. It shows each country's total spending (public and private) on health per capita in PPP international dollars.

The next data table (Table 2) lists nearly all countries. It uses data from the World Health Organization (WHO). It also shows each country's total spending (public and private) on health per capita in PPP international dollars.

OECD bar charts, and graphs

Average annual health expenditures per person in US dollars (PPP). For OECD countries, and some other countries.[4][1]

  • "Government/compulsory": government health schemes or compulsory insurance (public or private).
  • "Voluntary/Out of pocket": private voluntary health insurance or direct payments by households.

The chart below is older (2020 data) and breaks down the voluntary spending further by separating out-of-pocket payments. In this chart the items are stacked by color. There are a few other countries than just OECD countries.[1]

Timeline of a few OECD countries:

Charts below are life expectancy versus healthcare spending of rich OECD countries. US average of $10,447 in 2018, and $14,775 in 2024.[5] See: list of countries by life expectancy.
