🌍 Major warning sign: Health Financing at a Crossroads
A new report from The World Bank shows that low- and lower-middle-income countries are facing a steep decline in combined government and donor health spending by 2030.
📉 Health spending remains far below what is needed for universal health coverage, with stagnation since 2018 and sharp cuts to development assistance expected to widen the gap further.
Still, the report highlights a path forward.
🔑 Countries can still shift course by:
• Prioritizing primary health care and improving efficiency
• Aligning remaining external aid with national priorities
• Increasing the share of domestic budgets for health
• Expanding fiscal space through health taxes and broader reforms
Bold action now can save lives, strengthen systems, and drive economic growth.
