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

In 2023, Norway led European countries in government expenditure on home-based long-term care as a percentage of total health spending, with notable increases seen in Poland and Slovenia due to significant year-on-year growth. Conversely, Denmark, Ireland, and Austria saw declines. Over the past five years, countries with consistent investments have experienced modest average growth, with countries such as Slovenia, Malta, and Poland showing rising trends due to their significant recent increases.

Future trends will likely focus on policy adaptations to address aging populations and evolving healthcare challenges, with countries like Norway, Finland, and Malta potentially serving as models for effective long-term care funding strategies. These patterns warrant monitoring for nations looking to balance health budgets while enhancing long-term care services.
