About: Countries by Healthcare Expenditure Per Capita 2025
Overview of the data behind this chart
Countries ranked by total healthcare spending per person in 2025, measured in USD using purchasing power parity adjustments, according to OECD Health Statistics and WHO Global Health Expenditure Database. The United States spends dramatically more on healthcare per capita than any other nation — approximately $13,500 per person annually, which is nearly 50% more than Switzerland, the second-highest spender, and more than twice the average of comparable high-income OECD nations. This extraordinary expenditure does not translate into commensurate health outcomes: American life expectancy, infant mortality, and chronic disease prevalence compare unfavourably with countries spending half as much, a paradox attributed to the fragmented multi-payer insurance system, high administrative overhead, provider pricing power, and the downstream costs of inadequate preventive care access for uninsured and underinsured populations.
