European Healthcare Expenditure on Home Based Long-Term Care by Residential Long-Term Care Facilities by Country

The analysis of European healthcare expenditure on home-based long-term care by residential long-term care facilities reveals diverse trends in 2023. Malta led the spending with 1.68% of GDP, while Finland spent 1.17%. The Netherlands, Ireland, Latvia, Poland, and Estonia allocated significantly less, with Estonia's expenditure at just 0.01% of GDP. Notably, between 2022 and 2023, Malta showed a positive variation of 1.49%, Finland increased by 4.93%, while Ireland's expenditure declined by 8.97%. Over the past five years, these figures suggest a varied average annual change across countries.

Looking ahead, potential trends include a continued focus on enhancing home-based care infrastructure across Europe, addressing demographic aging, and optimizing resource allocation. Policymakers might emphasize increasing efficiency and technology integration in long-term care facilities within budgetary constraints.
