European Healthcare Expenditure on Inpatient Long-Term Care by Providers of Ambulatory Health Care by Country

In 2024, Finland leads European healthcare expenditure on inpatient long-term care by providers of ambulatory health care with 156.65 million Euros, demonstrating a modest 5.42% increase from 2023. Poland follows with a significant 18.49% year-on-year growth. Lithuania exhibits strong growth as well, while Sweden experiences a decline of 4.48%. Portugal shows a moderate increase, contrasting with Croatia’s stagnation. The Czech Republic observes a slight rise, while Hungary and Latvia face no growth or decline, with Latvia notably decreasing by 17.29% in 2023.

Looking to the future, increased focus on aging populations and chronic disease management may drive accelerated investment in inpatient long-term care, particularly in countries showing expenditure growth. Countries with declining or stagnant investment may need strategic adjustments to meet growing healthcare demands effectively.
