Papua New GuineaCurrent Health Expenditure per Capita (WHO, US$)
Unit: current US dollars per person
Source: World Health Organization (Global Health Expenditure Database) [WHO.HEALTH_SPEND_PC]
Measurement definition and metadata source
Publisher measure: Current health expenditure (CHE) per capita in US$
Current health expenditure (CHE) per person under SHA2011, in nominal current US dollars using exchange-rate conversion, not PPP international dollars or constant inflation-adjusted dollars. CHE concerns current health consumption across funding sources and excludes capital investment; it is not government-only expenditure.
Publisher metadata, retrieved . That is when the definition was last checked, not when these figures were published.
Measurement basis: WHO Global Health Expenditure Database (GHED), based on country health accounts and harmonized SHA2011 expenditure data; country reports and estimates may be revised.
Reference-period cadence: annual.
Source update cadence: annual. This does not establish a publication date for an individual reading.
- Current health expenditure excludes capital investment and includes current health consumption across funding sources. The unit is current US dollars per person, not PPP international dollars or inflation-adjusted constant dollars.
- Annual reference labels can map underlying fiscal years. WHO methodology uses nominal values and annual-average exchange-rate conversion; the API calendar tags do not establish each country’s underlying fiscal measurement window.
- The GHO capture has no uncertainty endpoints or per-row comments. GHED publishes separate country notes that were not captured here; their absence from these rows is not proof that no country-specific caveats exist.
- Preserve each country’s own latest reference year and original source precision. Source Date is retained as bookkeeping, not a proven observation publication vintage.
These are source-reported readings. A “<” sign means strictly below the stated number. Upper bounds remain visible in tables and downloads; point charts and statistics omit them. A common year can include a reported upper bound.

Same-year comparison · 2023
Every value is for 2023, the latest year before 2026 in this history range with a figure for every selected country, so the values compare directly. Figures for past years can still be revised.
| Country | Value | Year |
|---|---|---|
| Papua New Guinea | $85 | 2023 |
Displayed values are rounded. Downloads retain stored numerical precision and identify missing readings.
The year is the one the source reports. Check the source definition and notes for what is measured; the date the data was retrieved is not the date the source published it.
One row per country, indicator and year, with raw values, source links and reuse notices. Thresholds have an empty numeric value and separate number/operator fields; value_kind distinguishes upper bounds from absent readings.

Each comparison sign applies to its own reading or uncertainty endpoint. Values retain source precision. “Not reported” identifies an absent reading or uncertainty endpoint in this source capture.

Each country’s most recent figure, so the year can differ between countries and indicators. For a like-for-like comparison of one indicator in a single year, use the same-year comparison above. Figures marked “IMF projection” are forecasts that the IMF revises at each release.
