About this Dataset
Chile recorded 4,095.0 USD PPP per capita in current health expenditure in 2025, an OECD preliminary estimate up +92.1 from 2024's finalized figure of 4,003.0. Spending has grown in most years since 2000, when the series started at 585.4 USD PPP, with the steepest jump, +487.5, coming in 2024.
Government and compulsory insurance schemes typically fund just over half of this spending: in 2024 they covered about 56.5% of the total (2,263.2 USD PPP per capita), with voluntary insurance and household out-of-pocket payments making up the remaining 43.5% (1,739.7 USD PPP). The government share has typically run a few points higher over the past decade than in the early 2000s.
Compared with OECD peers, Chile's per-capita spending in 2023 (3,515.5 USD PPP) was roughly 61% of the unweighted 38-member OECD average of about 5,755.1 USD PPP for that year — well below the United States (13,932.6 USD PPP) but likely ahead of regional peers such as Mexico (1,520.0 USD PPP) and Colombia (1,885.8 USD PPP).
