Executive Summary
The Kingdom of the Netherlands is situated in Western Europe and occupies a total land area of 33,939 square kilometres. Germany lies to the east, Belgium to the south and the North Sea to the north and west.
The country has a long history of providing accessible healthcare, although resources are comparatively low for a West European country.
The government has introduced a mandatory health insurance scheme, which commenced in January 2006. This replaced the previous two-tier system and provides basic health insurance cover for acute care services with a separate scheme for long term medical care.
The new health insurance act has substantially increased price competition amongst insurers and healthcare providers resulting in one of the most market-oriented healthcare systems in Europe.
Due to the nature and position of the Netherlands, it has been used as a ‘trading post’ for many years. For this reason, the value of imports and exports do not necessarily reflect the market movement.
In 2009, the Dutch medical market is valued at US$2.3 billion, equal to US$137 per capita. Espicom predicts that the market will increase in size by 6.7% per annum over the course of the next five years. By 2014, the market is expected to reach a value of US$3.1 billion, equal to US$187 per capita.
