European Healthcare Expenditure on Long-Term Care (Social) by Voluntary Health Care Payment Schemes by Country

The United Kingdom leads in healthcare expenditure on long-term care via voluntary schemes in Europe, with €50.55 per capita in 2023, showing a 2.89% increase from the previous year. The Czech Republic follows closely at €45.13, reflecting a 6.31% rise. Lithuania and Romania saw significant growth at 18.43% and 16.95%, respectively. Conversely, Slovenia and Greece experienced declines, with Greece dropping sharply by 27.52%. Over the past five years, the UK and Czech Republic have maintained stable growth, whereas most countries reveal fluctuating trends.

Future trends to watch include increasing integration of digital health technologies and aging population demands potentially driving higher expenditures in this sector. Policymakers and insurers may prioritize developing more comprehensive voluntary schemes to meet these emerging needs.
