European Healthcare Expenditure on Long Term Care (Health) by Government Schemes by Country

In 2023, Norway leads in European healthcare expenditure on long-term care via government schemes at 27.96% of total health expenditure, followed by Sweden at 24.9% and Iceland at 19.55%. Variations show sharp increases in Poland (20.48%) and Slovenia (21.25%), while declines are noted in countries like Luxembourg (-22.88%) and Slovakia (-12.94%). While Northern European nations like Norway and Sweden maintain high expenditure levels, Mediterranean and Eastern European countries generally spend less, with Greece at 0.41% and Slovakia at 0.03% near the bottom.

Future trends to watch include the growing demand for long-term care amid aging populations, which may drive increased allocations from countries currently spending less. Additionally, economic conditions, policy changes, and innovations in care delivery will play crucial roles in shaping expenditure patterns across Europe.
