Analysis# Uzbekistan Healthcare Spending
Uzbekistan allocated 6.743% of its GDP to healthcare in 2023, representing a robust commitment to public health infrastructure. This figure sits 0.184 percentage points below the country's all-time peak of 6.927% in 2021 but substantially above its 2017 low of 4.309%. Over the past two decades, healthcare spending has grown 31.4% relative to GDP, demonstrating consistent expansion of the health sector as the economy has developed.
The most striking shift occurred between 2019 and 2020, when spending jumped from 4.835% to 6.086%—a 1.251 percentage point increase likely driven by pandemic-related health demands. Following this spike, spending plateaued around 6.6–6.9%, stabilizing at current levels. The recent stability at above 6.7% suggests Uzbekistan has maintained elevated healthcare investment as a policy priority rather than reverting to pre-2020 levels.
