In 2023, Finland led with 0.37% of its Total Current Health Expenditure allocated to curative and rehabilitative care by medical goods retailers, despite a slight -2.03% year-on-year decline. Lithuania displayed robust growth with a 3.26% increase, standing at 0.27%. Portugal and Estonia remained stable, while the United Kingdom saw a significant decline of -2.09% to 0.18%. Ireland's expenditure shrank by -5.59%, leveling with Estonia at 0.03%. Slovenia showed minimal allocation at 0.01% without change over the year.

• Regulatory changes and health policy reforms may realign expenditure priorities across Europe.
