Analysis# Mozambique Healthcare Spending
Mozambique allocated 8.501% of its GDP to healthcare in 2023, maintaining a high commitment to the sector just below its all-time peak of 8.648% reached in 2021. This represents a dramatic expansion from 2000, when healthcare spending stood at merely 2.143% of GDP—a cumulative increase of 296.7% over the 23-year period. The country has consistently strengthened its healthcare investment, reflecting growing recognition of public health priorities.
The steepest acceleration occurred between 2014 and 2018, when spending rose from 6.24% to 7.979% of GDP. Following a slight dip in 2020 to 7.552%, spending rebounded strongly through 2021 before stabilizing around 8.5% in recent years. Current levels suggest Mozambique has consolidated healthcare as a significant budget priority, with spending remaining elevated relative to its historical baseline.
