European Healthcare Expenditure on Long Term Care (Health) by Enterprise Financing Schemes by Country

In 2023, the expenditure on long-term healthcare through enterprise financing schemes was highest in Liechtenstein at 0.55% of Total Current Health Expenditure, followed by Ireland and Switzerland at around 0.38% and 0.37% respectively. Lithuania and Germany had significantly lower investment at 0.03% and 0.01%. The year 2023 saw a varied trend with most countries except Lithuania experiencing a decrease, particularly Ireland, which faced a 1.51% drop. Over the past five years, trends indicate volatile investment patterns across these nations.

Future trends to watch include a potential increase in enterprise-financed long-term care in Eastern European countries like Lithuania. Western European countries, grappling with higher drops, may exhibit strategic shifts towards privatization and digital health integration to manage costs and enhance care. Tracking policy changes and demographic shifts will be crucial in understanding the evolution of funding patterns in European long-term healthcare.
