Overview
Côte d'Ivoire's health spending stood at 3.73% in 2025, a rise of +0.30% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 3.73% by 2025. Côte d'Ivoire ranked 159th globally.
Côte d’Ivoire’s health expenditure has risen modestly over the 25‑year series, moving from 3.61 % of GDP in 2000 to a World Bank‑reported 3.73 % in 2025, placing the nation at 159th globally. The indicator peaked at 4.64 % in 2009, a level that has not been approached since, and fell to an all‑time low of 3.09 % in 2018 before recovering. The recent figure matches the current shares of Suriname and Belize, both also at 3.73 %, and is close to Mali’s 3.76 % share, suggesting Côte d’Ivoire is converging with peers in the lower‑middle range of health spending. The post‑trough rebound reflects gradual fiscal prioritisation of health, yet the gap between the 2009 peak and present levels indicates limited capacity to sustain higher investment. Continued economic growth, coupled with reforms to expand public health financing, would be required to lift the trajectory above the recent plateau and narrow the disparity with higher‑spending peers.
