Analysis# Turkmenistan Healthcare Spending
Turkmenistan allocated 5.498% of GDP to healthcare in 2023, representing a substantial 36.4% increase since 2000. The country reached its peak spending of 6.187% in 2004, then experienced a dramatic contraction to a low of 2.815% in 2009 during the global financial crisis. Current spending levels remain well above that nadir but slightly below the early 2000s peak.
A notable recovery began in 2014, when spending climbed from 4.257% to 5.587% by 2016—a significant upward shift within just two years. Following this sharp increase, spending has stabilized in the 5.3–5.8% range through 2023, suggesting a plateau rather than continued growth. The recent trend indicates Turkmenistan has settled into a mid-range spending posture compared to its historical record.
