European Healthcare Expenditure on Residential Long-Term Care Facilities by Voluntary Health Insurance Schemes by Country

In 2023, Ireland led European healthcare expenditure on residential long-term care facilities via voluntary health insurance schemes, with 31.37 million euros, showing a 3.18% increase. Malta followed with 14.38 million euros, at 24.64% growth, while Switzerland and Estonia saw declines of 3.58% and 9.71% respectively. Lithuania and Slovenia recorded moderate increases of 6.17% and 0.82%, and Portugal maintained a steady rise of 1.43%. Belgium, Hungary, and Luxembourg remain at the lower end of the expenditure spectrum.

Future trends to watch in this sphere include demographic aging and evolving health insurance models in Europe. An increasing demand for long-term care coupled with policy shifts could reshape expenditure patterns. Monitoring technology adoption in healthcare and the evolving landscape of private insurance coverage will be critical for predicting future expenditure trends.
