European Healthcare Expenditure on Long-Term Care (Social) by All Financing Schemes by Country

The European healthcare expenditure on long-term care as a percentage of total current health expenditure is led by the Netherlands at 12.26%, followed by Denmark and Lithuania. Over the past year, noteworthy changes included Hungary's 2.87% increase and Cyprus' substantial 6.26% growth. In contrast, France and Slovenia observed significant declines of 5.82% and 6.51%, respectively. The five-year compound annual growth rate indicates varied national investments, reflecting diverse priorities and economic conditions across Europe.

Future trends suggest that European countries may gradually align towards augmented healthcare expenditure in long-term care, driven by aging populations and increasing societal recognition of elder care needs. Advances in e-health solutions and cross-sector collaboration are likely to influence these financial allocations over the next decade.
