Morocco Health Spending
Current health expenditure as % of GDP SH.XPD.CHEX.GD.ZS
Morocco's health spending was 6.44% in 2025, ranked 101st globally. This represents a 6.1% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2000–2025.
Overview
Morocco's health spending stood at 6.44% in 2025, a rise of +0.37% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 6.44% by 2025. Morocco ranked 101st globally.
Morocco’s health expenditure as a share of GDP has risen steadily over the 25‑year series, climbing from a trough of 3.69 % in 2000 to an all‑time peak of 6.44 % in 2025, which places the kingdom at rank 101 globally. The increase reflects expanded public financing for primary care, hospital infrastructure and the recent rollout of universal health insurance schemes. Compared with peer nations of similar ranking, Morocco’s 2025 level of 6.44 % is just below Ireland’s 6.54 % and Peru’s 6.29 %, yet slightly lower than Hungary’s 6.63 % and China’s 6.26 %, indicating that the country is keeping pace with middle‑income peers while still lagging behind the higher‑spending European benchmark. The upward trajectory suggests that continued fiscal commitment and efficiency reforms could sustain higher spending, but any slowdown in economic growth or fiscal constraints could flatten the trend. Future policy choices will therefore be decisive in determining whether Morocco can maintain its progress toward broader health coverage.
