Healthcare Spending: Comoros

Analysis# Comoros Healthcare Spending Comoros allocated 6.552% of its GDP to healthcare in 2023, representing a decline from the all-time peak of 8.471% in 2022. Since 2000, healthcare spending has contracted by 12.8%, though the current figure sits well above the historical low of 4.601% recorded in 2015. The country's spending levels have remained volatile throughout the two-decade period, fluctuating between roughly 4.6% and 8.5% of GDP. A dramatic spike occurred in 2022, when healthcare spending surged to its highest level on record before declining to 6.552% in 2023. This 2022 peak likely reflects pandemic-related health investments and emergency responses. The recent pullback suggests a normalization of spending patterns, though the 2023 figure still exceeds the pre-pandemic average of around 5.5%, indicating sustained commitment to healthcare relative to pre-2020 levels.
