About this Dataset
Mexico recorded 1,679.8 USD PPP per capita in current health expenditure in 2025, an OECD preliminary estimate up +26.3 from 2024's finalized figure of 1,653.4. Spending has grown in most years since 1999, when the series started at 473.5 USD PPP, with the steepest jump, +143.3, coming in 2023.
Government and compulsory insurance schemes typically fund just over half of this spending: in 2024 they covered about 52.2% of the total (862.7 USD PPP per capita), with voluntary insurance and household out-of-pocket payments making up the remaining 47.8% (790.7 USD PPP). That near-even split has held fairly steady over the past decade.
Compared with regional and OECD peers, Mexico's per-capita spending is likely far below the United States (14,823.1 USD PPP in 2024) and also below Chile (3,515.5 USD PPP in 2023) and Colombia (2,089.8 USD PPP in 2024).
