European Healthcare Expenditure on Home Based Long Term Care (Health) by Voluntary Health Care Payment Schemes by Country

The 2024 data shows Malta leading in healthcare expenditure for home-based long-term care via voluntary payment schemes, capturing 0.92% of total current health expenditure. Belgium and Germany follow, albeit experiencing slight declines. Significant positive variations occurred in Malta (16.43%) and Poland (14.87%) due to increased focus on home care services. Conversely, notable declines were recorded in Switzerland (-5.59%) and Liechtenstein (-3.04%), highlighting financial shifting to other health sectors. Smaller economies like Lithuania, Portugal, and France showed stability without noticeable variations over the last two years.

Future trends to watch include the potential scaling of home-based long-term care solutions as an aging population pushes for more personalized and local healthcare services. Additionally, the increasing emphasis on value-based care in Europe may drive voluntary payment schemes to develop more flexible and consumer-oriented healthcare financing options across member states.
