Nepal is one of the unhealthiest countries in the world. Nepal’s healthcare access is limited, with just 0.67 doctors per 1,000 people. According to the government, in 2023, Nepal’s health expenditure was NPR 183.8 billion (USD 1.6 billion), or 5.3% of GDP. From 2016/17 to 2022/23, the health sector budget nearly tripled to NPR 123.3 billion, driven by COVID-19 efforts, though the 2022/23 budget was lower than the previous year’s. Despite being one of the poorest countries, Nepalese households spend over 5% of their per-capita income on health, averaging NPR 505 annually.
