Analysis# Cabo Verde Healthcare Spending Cabo Verde allocated 5.848% of its GDP to healthcare in 2023, representing a substantial 51.5% increase since 2000. The country's health expenditure has fluctuated significantly within a range of 3.27% (2008 low) to 7.034% (2020 peak), reflecting evolving priorities and economic pressures over the past two decades. A dramatic spike occurred in 2020, when healthcare spending reached its historical peak at 7.034% of GDP—likely driven by pandemic response efforts. Since then, spending has declined steadily, dropping from 6.608% in 2021 to 5.848% in 2023. The current trajectory suggests a return toward pre-pandemic levels, though spending remains considerably higher than the 4.4–4.8% range recorded between 2014 and 2019.
