European Healthcare Expenditure on Patient Transportation by Country

In 2023, Norway led European countries with healthcare expenditures on patient transportation at 0.37% of GDP, followed by Latvia and Estonia. It displayed a moderate year-on-year increase of 3.6%. The largest increase was observed in Cyprus with a 71.88% rise, while Hungary and Poland experienced a decline. Over the last five years, the compounded annual growth rate has portrayed varying growth, largely driven by public policy and demographic shifts.
