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.

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.

• 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.

Global health systems are under pressure. With external health aid projected to fall by up to 40% in 2025, essential services like maternal care, vaccination, and disease surveillance are being disrupted across more than 100 low- and middle-income countries.
In response, the World Health Organization (WHO) has released new guidance: “Responding to the Health Financing Emergency: Immediate Measures and Longer-Term Shifts.” It outlines concrete steps countries can take to protect essential services, integrate donor-funded programmes, and transition towards sustainable domestic financing.
As Dr. Tedros noted, “In the crisis lies an opportunity for countries to transition away from aid dependency towards sustainable self-reliance.”
Resilient systems require both country leadership and global solidarity.
