Executive Summary
The Kingdom of the Netherlands is situated in Western Europe and occupies a total land area of 33,939 square kilometers. 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.
Per capita expenditure on pharmaceutical products is considerably lower than nearby Belgium, France or Germany at US$573 in 2009.
Comparatively low spending on pharmaceuticals has been achieved through heavy reliance on generic products which now account for more than half the market by volume. Generic revenues contracted in 2008 as a result of a price war between suppliers in response to health insurers implementing a preferential supplier policy.
The Netherlands has a well respected contract research and development environment, although few multinationals currently have manufacturing plants there.
