Europe
Europe is a continent located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere. Europe covers about 10,180,000 km2 (3,930,000 sq mi), or 2% of the Earth’s surface (6.8% of land area), making it the second smallest continent.
| Literacy Rate | 99.12 (2016) |
| Population | 746,419,440 (2018 est.) |
Current healthcare model of Europe is unsustainable and requires changes. A rapidly ageing population and shrinking workforce presents major challenges and requires new thinking. With increasing population and emergence of new lifestyle diseases over years it has become necessary to have a well-managed and world class healthcare system.
Life Expectancy: Life expectancy has increased in EU countries over the past decades, but progress has slowed down in recent years in many countries. In EU as a whole the life expectancy has reached to 81 years in 2018. Prevalence of diseases like severe flu and Covid has resulted in fluctuation in recent years. Many countries have shown an increase and few have declined over decades.
Maternal Mortality Rate: The maternal mortality rate (MMR) has decreased by almost half within the European Region between 2000 to 2015, from 33 to 16 deaths per 1,00,000 live births respectively.
Infant Mortality Rate: During the 10 years from 2008 to 2018, the infant mortality rate in the EU fell from 4.2 deaths per 1,000 live births to 3.4 deaths per 1,000 live births.
Health Expenditure: Health spending in Europe varies greatly from country to country. The income and spending on health varies directly for European countries therefore high-income countries have larger health expenditure. On average across EU countries, health spending per capita increased by around 3.0% each year in real terms (adjusted for inflation) between 2013 and 2019, compared with an annual growth rate of only 0.7% between 2008 and 2013. All the countries had a positive growth rate although it was slow for few of them. In 2019, it is estimated that EU countries devoted on average 8.3% of their GDP to health care.
Healthcare workers and Bed availability
Doctors and other healthcare workers are crucial for addressing the health need of the population. Between 2008 and 2018, the number of doctors per capita increased in all EU countries. On average across EU countries, the number increased from 3.3 doctors per 1 000 population in 2008 to 3.8 in 2018, a growth of 15% taking into account the population increase. The concern regarding the shortage of doctors in late 2000’s led to taking actions by the authority to increase the number. This number can also be maintained and kept increasing with time by construction of new Medical Facilities in the European Countries to keep meeting the demand.
Similarly, the demand for nurses is expected to continue to rise in the years ahead because of population ageing while many nurses are approaching retirement age. On average across EU countries, there were 8.2 nurses per 1,000 population in 2018, a rise from 7.4 in 2008. The numbers can be maintained and kept on rise by promoting more and more students of the countries to pursue the course of nursing in coming future.
The number of hospital beds provides an indication of the resources available for delivering services to inpatients in hospitals for different types of care. Since 2000, the number of hospital beds per capita has decreased to about 20% in all EU countries due at least partly to the development of day care options and reductions in the average length of stay for hospitalized patients. Therefore, to meet up the emergency conditions like Covid it is necessary for any country or continent to have an appropriate availability of bed to give timely treatment to the patients.
Disease Burden
Over 4.6 million people died in EU countries in 2017. The main cause of death in EU countries are circulatory disease, various types of cancer, followed by respiratory disease and external cause of death.
Circulatory disease accounts for total of 37% of death as per 2017 survey, however cancer accounts for 26% of all deaths.
External causes of death, including accidents, suicides, homicides and other violent causes of death.
Gastro intestinal disease contribute significantly to the healthcare burden in Europe, which accounts for substantial morbidity, mortality and cost.
