Main healthcare challenges
Innovation is key to prevent rising cost of healthcare in the future
Rising costs
Ageing
population
Chronic
diseases
Healthcare costs are increasing and
healthcare as it is today is
unsustainable - health spending per
capita is increasing by around 1.9%
each year (compared to 0.6% annual
growth rate).1 COVID-19 is increasing
system cost even further.
Life expectancy in the EU-27 between
2002-2018 increased by 3.3 years,
from 77.7 to 81 years 2 driven by
demography changes.
Rising number of chronic diseases and
comorbidities - 87% of all deaths in
the EU.3 Many cases of chronic
diseases are preventable and linked to
four common risk factors — tobacco,
harmful use of alcohol, nutrition and
lack of physical activity.
