Analysis# Brunei Darussalam Healthcare Spending In 2023, Brunei Darussalam allocated 2.229% of its GDP to healthcare, representing a modest recovery from 2022's low of 1.77%. This current level remains significantly below the country's all-time peak of 2.603% recorded in 2003. Over the full 2000–2023 period, healthcare spending has declined 12.5% relative to GDP, reflecting a long-term downward shift in the share of national resources directed toward the health sector. The past decade reveals considerable volatility. Spending peaked at 2.548% in 2016 before dropping sharply to 1.77% in 2022—the lowest point in the entire dataset. The 2023 rebound to 2.229% suggests a potential stabilization, though spending remains well below historical norms. Whether this upward movement signals a sustained reversal or temporary fluctuation will be critical to monitor in coming years.
