In 2023, Denmark recorded the highest expenditure on long-term care at €696.1 per capita, with a noticeable 5.74% growth. Notably, Cyprus showed the highest year-on-year increase at 16.57%. Most Northern and Western European countries like the Netherlands (€661.63), Norway (€384.21), and Finland (€366.47) maintain significant investments, whereas Southern and Eastern European countries like Greece (€1.87) and Bosnia (€6.4) lag far behind.
