The latest data shows that the Netherlands leads European healthcare expenditure on residential long-term care facilities, comprising 27.58% of total current health expenditure. Malta and Sweden follow with 20.4% and 17.41%, respectively. The least expenditure is observed in Bosnia and Herzegovina at 0.19% and Bulgaria at 0.32%. From 2023 to 2024, significant increases were observed in Romania (1.9%) and Croatia (1.95%), while Belgium experienced a notable decrease of 5.73%. Over the last five years, there has been a generally stable trend in most countries with occasional declines, particularly in Luxembourg, Austria, and Italy.
Future trends to watch include:
- Increased spending in countries currently with low expenditure, such as Romania and Croatia, which have recently shown significant growth.
- A focus on addressing the declines seen in countries like Belgium and Latvia.
- An overall aging population in Europe, which might drive upward trends in long-term care expenditure across the continent.
