European Healthcare Expenditure on Home Based Curative and Rehabilitative Care by Government Schemes by Country

The United Kingdom leads in healthcare spending on home-based curative and rehabilitative care among European countries, with an expenditure value of 0.26% of GDP in 2023. Ireland follows closely at 0.19%, and Finland at 0.17%. Variations in 2023 indicate notable increases in Belgium and Italy, both experiencing an 8.45% rise. Finland and Sweden also showed significant growth, with increases of 5.51% and 3.71% respectively. Conversely, Malta experienced a decline of 6.17%. Most other countries, including Ireland, Iceland, Portugal, and Germany, remained static or saw minimal change during 2023.

Future trends to watch include:

• Potential expansion of government schemes in countries with previously low expenditures, such as Germany and Portugal.
• Increasing integration of technology in home care services, potentially impacting costs and efficiency.
• Shifts in policy to address aging populations may drive increased demand for home-based care and enhance government budget allocations in this sector.
