Turkmenistan's population is projected to grow to 8.26 million by 2024 and peak at 8.95 million in 2084 before declining. Life expectancy is currently low at 145th globally but may rise with improvements in healthcare and living conditions, contributing to an aging population. Turkmenistan faces challenges providing adequate healthcare due to a lack of data collection and low health spending as a percentage of GDP. The UNDP aims to improve healthcare access through reliable medical supplies.
