Authors: Financing Alliance for Health

In 2018, the Financing Alliance for Health produced a series of fact cards providing key information on health landscapes, financing, and community health systems across eight countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including Malawi.

In 2018, the Malawian government invested 9 percent of GDP on health expenditures, or 98 percent of the global average.
Malawi’s community health strategy is to ensure quality community services are affordable, scientific, culturally competent, and accessible for all. The strategy, which was implemented in 2017, is estimated to cost $407 million and add 7,000 new community health workers.
