Analysis# Moldova Healthcare Spending
Moldova allocated 6.736% of its GDP to healthcare in 2023, reflecting a modest recovery from 2018's low point of 6.708%. Since 2000, spending has increased 13.6% overall, though the country remains far below its 2009 peak of 13.677%, when healthcare consumed nearly double the current share of national output. The all-time low of 5.927% in 2000 underscores significant growth from the millennium's start.
The most striking pattern emerges between 2014 and 2019, when spending declined steadily from 8.732% to 6.497%—a sustained contraction suggesting fiscal constraint or policy shifts. A temporary spike to 7.749% in 2021 marked a pandemic-related increase, followed by renewed decline through 2023. Current spending levels position Moldova near historical lows, indicating healthcare claims a shrinking share of economic resources despite modest recent stabilization.
