European Healthcare Expenditure on Long Term Care (Health) by Government Schemes and Compulsory Contributory Health Care Financing Schemes by Country

The European healthcare expenditure on long-term care by government schemes in 2023 shows Norway (27.96%) and the Netherlands (26.6%) leading in terms of percentage of total current health expenditure, reflecting a strong investment in long-term care. Countries like Cyprus and Slovakia lag significantly. Year-on-year variations indicate substantial growth in Bulgaria’s expenditure, whereas other countries like Denmark, Belgium, and Austria reported a decline. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) unveils growth potential in regions with recent increases, such as Poland and Malta, contrasting with declining areas like Lithuania and Cyprus.

Looking into the future, it is crucial to monitor increasing investments in long-term care by European governments, as aging populations and health system adaptations remain key priorities. Focus on countries showing drastic growths or declines can provide insights into changing policy landscapes and economic conditions affecting healthcare priorities.
