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

Norway leads in healthcare expenditure on long-term care, standing at 1.95 thousand euros per capita. Sweden, Iceland, and Denmark follow closely. Ireland's recent year-on-year growth at 4.58% suggests a potential shift. Despite a slight decline, Switzerland remains among the higher spenders. Eastern European countries like Slovenia and Poland demonstrated substantial growth in 2023, indicating growing investment in long-term care. Meanwhile, countries like Luxembourg and Slovakia experienced notable declines, pointing to potential budget reallocations or efficiency enhancements.

Future trends to watch include the rising demand for long-term care due to aging populations, potentially driving increases in expenditure across Europe. Technological advancements and integrated care models are likely to influence government spending decisions, with potential shifts toward more personalized and efficient long-term care solutions.
