European Healthcare Expenditure on Outpatient Curative and Rehabilitative Care by Voluntary Health Care Payment Schemes by Country

In 2023, Europe's healthcare expenditure on outpatient curative and rehabilitative care through voluntary health payment schemes showed significant variations across countries. France led with 5.17 billion euros, followed by Spain and the Netherlands. Notable year-on-year increases were observed in Latvia and Estonia, at over 42%, a sharp contrast to Belgium and Greece, which saw declines. France experienced modest growth. Among the Western European countries, Germany showed consistent but moderate growth, whereas Eastern Europe countries like Romania and Bulgaria exhibited more dynamic increases.

Looking ahead, future trends suggest a potential increase in expenditure driven by aging populations, technological advancements in healthcare, and policy reforms. The adoption of digital health solutions and personalized care models are expected to further shape voluntary health payment schemes across Europe.
