Table explanation


This table presents health(care) expenditure used by residents of the Netherlands in a year. Healthcare is delineated according to the international definition of the System of Health Accounts. The figures are thus internationally comparable with Eurostat, OECD and WHO publications. All healthcare activities count, regardless of whether they take place inside or outside the healthcare sector.
The figures are derived from the care accounts, which include more activities such as youth care, welfare work, social services and child care. The care accounts also include exports (expenditure on and by non-residents).

Data available from: 2021
The table contains revised data for 2021-2023. This table supersedes table Health expenditure; providers and financing, 1998-2022 (see paragraph 3).

Status of the figures:
All figures are provisional.

Changes as of 10 December 2024:
None, this is a new table.

When will new figures be published?
Updated figures for 2021-2023, and provisional figures for 2024 will be published in 2025.
