Over the past two decades, considerable progress has been made in the coverage and quality of healthcare services in Algeria, with indicators improving steadily, alongside a decline in instances of communicable diseases, according to Oxford Business Group. As a result, the latest figures from WHO show that life expectancy at birth has risen from 68 years in 1995 to 76.4 years as of 2018.

Despite the rise in life expectancy, mortality rates remain relatively high though recent efforts to improve maternal care and paediatrics may see these ease in the years ahead. In addition to the concern about regional disparities in healthcare, Algeria’s increasingly ageing population is seeing a rise in chronic illnesses, particularly diabetes, cancers and cardiovascular diseases.

Healthcare is heavily subsidised in Algeria in line with the introduction of a national health care system in 1975. Most services are free for citizens at public hospitals and clinics, and the cost of most medicinal purchases is reimbursed by the government. While the large majority of health establishments in the country are still entirely subsidised by the government, this is gradually beginning to shift as the private sector grows.

Even though the state is heavily involved in healthcare, there were 8400 private specialist practices and 7000 private generalist practices as of 2015. In recent years a number of private facilities and clinics have opened across the country, both in general and specialised care, while many of the existing private establishments are expanding. In terms of human resources, the sector is split, with 57% of all registered practitioners working in the public sector and 43% in the private sector as of 2015, according to figures highlighted by Oxford Business Group.
Typically, general practitioners are predominantly in the public sector, while specialists and dentists are split relatively evenly. Conversely, the vast majority of pharmacists work in the private sector.

Transfers of patients abroad have decreased by 90% since 2000, reflecting the considerable improvements that have taken place in the domestic system. However, a large number of Algerians still go abroad for more complex medical treatments. France granted 1600 medical visas for Algerian citizens in 2014, and it is estimated that many more Algerians visiting France on tourist visas seek out medical treatments while there. A sizeable number of Algerian medical tourists also travel to Tunisia, Morocco and Turkey.
