In 2023, healthcare expenditure on specialised outpatient curative care as a percentage of GDP exhibited a varied landscape across Europe. Finland led the region at 1.99%, followed by Spain and Austria with 1.82% and 1.67%, respectively. Notably, Cyprus observed the largest year-on-year growth at 21%, while Belgium experienced a decrease of 3.13%. Latvia (12.22%) and Slovakia (11.03%) also saw significant increases, indicating heightened investment in outpatient services. Meanwhile, larger economies like Germany and France had relatively modest growth rates of 0.92% and 0.53%, respectively.
Looking forward, potential trends to monitor include:
- Continued investment growth in countries with current low expenditure percentages, such as Romania and Malta.
- Potential slowdowns in higher-spending countries as they reach saturation levels in outpatient care investment.
- The impact of evolving healthcare policies and economic conditions on expenditure trends, particularly in countries with significant year-on-year variation.
