European Healthcare Expenditure on Curative Care and Rehabilitative Care by Government Schemes by Country

The European healthcare expenditure on curative and rehabilitative care by government schemes varies significantly by country as a percentage of GDP. In 2023, Latvia had the highest expenditure at 6.33%, with a notable year-on-year increase of 25.66%. In contrast, countries like Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and the Czech Republic experienced significant increases, while Cyprus and Estonia saw declines. Larger economies like France and Germany have relatively low contributions to GDP, at 0.08% and 0.51%, respectively, but Germany showed a substantial increase of 7.82% year-on-year.

Future trends to watch include potential increases in investment in countries with currently low expenditure as they may aim to align with EU averages. Additionally, aging populations and technological advancements could influence shifts in spending, requiring strategic planning and increased efficiencies in healthcare delivery systems across Europe.
