European Healthcare Expenditure on Epidemiological Surveillance and Risk and Disease Control Programmes by Country

Several European countries have shown significant differences in their healthcare expenditure per capita on epidemiological surveillance and risk and disease control programs. In 2023, Sweden, Iceland, and Denmark topped the list, while Cyprus reported the lowest expenditure. Notably, Luxembourg exhibited a substantial increase in year-on-year expenditure. Moderate growth was seen in Liechtenstein and Greece, while countries like Germany and the UK saw relatively stable expenditures. In contrast, Switzerland and Poland had minimal variations, reflecting consistent spending patterns.

Future trends to watch include the potential for increased allocations towards public health infrastructure as countries strive to enhance disease preparedness post-pandemic. The shift towards digitalization and the adoption of advanced surveillance technologies might also drive variations in spending across Europe.
