European Healthcare Expenditure on Long Term Care (Health) by Compulsory Contributory Health Insurance Schemes and Compulsory Medical Saving Accounts (CMSA) by Country

The analysis of healthcare expenditure on long-term care by compulsory contributory health insurance and CMSAs across Europe in 2024 highlights significant variation. The Netherlands leads with the highest expenditure at 25.28% of total health expenditure, followed by Luxembourg and Germany. Countries like Bulgaria and Poland show notable year-on-year growth, indicating increasing investment needs or reform implementations. Conversely, countries such as Slovenia, Romania, and Switzerland experienced declines, indicating possible efficiency improvements or policy changes. The compound annual growth rates show these trends over the last five years have varied widely among countries.

Future trends to watch for include the potential impact of aging populations on long-term care needs, policy shifts towards more sustainable healthcare funding models, and technological advancements that could drive both costs and efficiencies. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for understanding how healthcare systems adapt and allocate resources effectively across Europe.
