The per capita healthcare expenditure on mental health and substance abuse facilities in Belgium is anticipated to follow a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. By 2024, this expenditure stands at 4.23 Euros, projected to decrease yearly, reaching 3.71 Euros by 2028.
The year-on-year percentage variation shows a negative trend: -4.26% from 2024 to 2025, -3.46% from 2025 to 2026, -2.81% from 2026 to 2027, and -2.37% from 2027 to 2028.
