Spending for COVID-19 drove largest recorded increase in development assistance for health, but more is needed

A new study tracking global health spending finds that $13.7 billion in development assistance for health (DAH) went toward COVID-19 in 2020, contributing to a 35.7% increase in DAH spending compared to 2019. This unprecedented increase in spending still falls short of what may be needed to address the pandemic in low- and middle-income countries, with one study suggesting a range of $33 billion to $62 billion under different scenarios.
