The pandemic has caused the region to sustain some USD 200 bn in GDP losses, compared to \u201cwhere the region\u2019s GDP would have been if the pandemic had not hit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The region\u2019s GDP per capita is expected to inch up by a mere 1.1%<\/strong> \u2014 a rebound from the 5.4% contraction registered in 2020 and an upward revision from the 0.6% the World Bank had penciled in back in April. The World Bank\u2019s forecast indicates GDP per capita growth will still be 4.3% lower than it was in 2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One of the main culprits of this sluggish recovery in the region: Stressed public healthcare systems<\/strong> that were caught off guard by and unable to cope with a pandemic. Many governments in the region had also overestimated their health systems\u2019 preparedness to cope with health emergencies, which the report suggests is partially due to \u201cthe region\u2019s young population [creating] the statistical illusion of a healthy population.\u201d As of 2019, Egypt\u2019s government expenditure on healthcare as a percentage of GDP was among the lowest in the region, with only 1.42% of overall government spending earmarked for the sector.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But the key to stronger healthcare systems isn\u2019t necessarily increased spending \u2014 it\u2019s an increase in efficient spending.<\/strong> A lack of efficient spending generally leads to an increase in out-of-pocket spending on health services, which drains household incomes and \u201cshifts purchasing power away from large population pools that demand upstream health measures, like prevention and disease surveillance, to those in need of downstream, often costlier, individual services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The WB is not happy with our expenditure on preventative care:<\/strong> Despite the rollout of Egypt\u2019s universal healthcare system \u2014 which was first introduced on a pilot basis in <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/07\/07\/egypts-new-health-care-system-debut-in-port-said-dominates-nations-airwaves-2\/\">Port Said in 2019<\/a> \u2014 Egypt, Tunisia, and Jordan exhibit lower rates of government expenditure on preventive health care compared to their income peers, the World Bank says.
