Analysis# Djibouti Healthcare Spending
Djibouti allocated 2.283% of its GDP to healthcare in 2023, matching its all-time low. This represents a substantial decline from the peak of 4.27% in 2003, reflecting a 32.8% reduction in healthcare spending as a share of economic output over two decades. The country's spending has trended downward since 2000, with only modest year-to-year fluctuations interrupting the overall contraction.
The most notable spike occurred in 2015, when healthcare spending reached 3.348% of GDP before declining sharply to 2.742% the following year. Since that peak, spending has continued its descent, with 2023 marking the lowest point in the data series. The sustained downward trajectory suggests Djibouti's healthcare sector faces increasing budget constraints relative to economic growth.
