• Life expectancy and health inequalities• Growing prevalence of chronic diseases
HEALTH STATUS
Life expectancy across EU countries increased by over 6 years since 1990; but the gap between the highest and lowest
countries remains unchanged (more than 8 years)

Gap in life expectancy at age 65 by gender and educational level, 2013 (or nearest year)

There are also large gaps in life expectancy in each country: in Central and Eastern Europe, 65-year-old men with low
education level live about 4 years less than the most educated

More than 75% of health spending is publicly financed on average across EU countries. Direct out-of-pocket payments account for 15% on average, but represent a much greater share in some countries

Practising doctors per 1 000 population, 2000 and 2014 (or nearest year)
1. Data refer to all doctors licensed to practice, resulting in a large over-estimation of the number of practising doctors (around 30% in Portugal).
2. Data include not only doctors providing direct care to patients, but also those working in the health sector as managers, educators,
researchers, etc. (adding another 5-10% of doctors).
But the share of GPs is declining in most countries, threatening access to primary care

and 2010, but have stabilised since then

Conclusions
• Greater focus on health promotion and prevention both among children and adults to reduce health care needs
• Strengthen primary care and patient-centred care to better manage chronic diseases outside hospital
• Reduce any financial or geographic barriers to care, and ensure timely access to services
• Need to achieve greater efficiency in health spending to meet growing demands with limited resources
