Unlike other developed nations, the number of hospitals in the Netherlands has been slowly increasing. In 2021, there were 691 hospitals in the Netherlands, the highest value in the provided time interval. The number of hospitals increased dramatically from 2008 to 2009, although there was a break in series at this point, so the source may have changed certain standards resulting in this value surge.
The Netherland’s expenditure on healthcare was 11.2 percent of GDP in 2022, this share had generally been increasing before 2012 but since then the share has slightly decreased but rose again in 2020. In comparison to other European countries, the Netherlands ranked fairly high on the share of GDP spent on health expenditures. Germany had the highest share of expenditure on health, spending 12.7 percent of its GDP in this year.
