Tunisia among the Arab leaders in healthcare systems according to the CEOWORLD 2025 report
According to the platform Economic, which draws on the latest CEOWORLD – Countries With The Best HealthCare Systems 2025 report, Tunisia ranks 49th worldwide for the quality of its healthcare system. This ranking, which evaluates countries on several criteria such as the availability of medicines, their cost, the quality of infrastructure and medical staff, and the effectiveness of health governance, reflects the efforts made by the country to improve access to and quality of care.
Among Arab countries, Tunisia ranks third, behind the United Arab Emirates (17th) and Saudi Arabia (37th), while ahead of Lebanon (50th), Bahrain (54th), and Jordan (56th). This position underscores Tunisia’s significant place in the region in terms of health, despite the sector’s persistent challenges.
By contrast, some Arab countries are among the lowest ranked in the world. Egypt stands at 91st, while Sudan and Libya bring up the rear at 102nd and 103rd respectively, pointing to notable disparities in the quality of and access to care across the region.
Globally, the Top 5 healthcare systems are led by Taiwan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, and Sweden. These countries stand out for the excellence of their infrastructure, the availability and accessibility of treatments, and particularly effective health governance.
The ranking published by CEOWORLD thus highlights the importance of investing in public health and modernizing medical infrastructure, both to strengthen the resilience of national systems and to improve the well-being of populations. For Tunisia, this 49th place is both a recognition of its progress and an encouragement to continue reforms in order to consolidate its position among Arab countries and on the world stage.
