European Healthcare Expenditure on Curative Care and Rehabilitative Care by Household Out-of-Pocket Payment by Country

European healthcare expenditure on curative and rehabilitative care by household out-of-pocket payment varies significantly across countries. In 2023, Cyprus, Greece, and Portugal led in household contributions to healthcare costs, while countries like France and the UK had the lowest percentages. Year-on-year variations showed a mixed trend, with increases in Portugal, Lithuania, and Slovenia, while Greece and Latvia saw decreases. The five-year trend (CAGR) indicates a decline in household out-of-pocket payment in many countries, pointing towards broad policy shifts or economic factors influencing household expenditure proportions.

Future trends to watch include:

• Potential changes in government healthcare policies impacting household contributions.
• The influence of economic fluctuations on healthcare expenditure patterns.
• Innovations in healthcare delivery models that might alter cost structures.
• Differences in aging population effects across European countries influencing expenditure priorities.
