Analysis# Madagascar Healthcare Spending
Madagascar allocated 3.428% of its GDP to healthcare in 2023, representing a significant decline from its peak of 5.332% in 2016. The current spending level sits marginally above the all-time low of 3.101% recorded in 2019, reflecting overall contraction since 2000 when healthcare spending stood higher at approximately 3.99% of GDP—a total decrease of 14.1% over two decades.
A sharp downturn occurred between 2016 and 2019, with spending plummeting from 5.332% to 3.101%, a loss of over 2 percentage points in just three years. Following this dramatic decline, spending has stabilized in the 3.1–3.7% range since 2020. The modest uptick to 3.428% in 2023 from 2022's 3.149% suggests a slight recovery, though Madagascar's healthcare investment remains well below historical peaks and continues to constrain public health capacity.
