The latest study released by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) finds that Luxembourg performs better than average in most healthcare trends, except for sugary drinks' consumption.

According to the comparative report, Luxembourg performs better than the OECD average on 8 out of 10 key indicators for healthcare. Per capita, healthcare spending in the Grand Duchy reaches the equivalent of $8,200 annually, compared to the OECD average of around $6,000.

Around 80% of healthcare spending in Luxembourg is covered by the National Health Fund (CNS).

Life expectancy in the Grand Duchy is on the rise at 83.4 years as of 2023, putting the nation at joint 7th place with Sweden.

The mortality rate is 652 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants, well below the OECD average of 861 deaths per 100,000 people.

Health risk factorys vary between the countries compared in the report, particularly among young people. One example is the daily consumption of sugary drinks, as Luxembourg ranks particularly high for this at 24%. The Ministry of Health says further preventative action should be taken to raise awareness among young people.

As for hospitals, there are currently four hospital beds per 1,000 inhabitants, and the average stay in hospital in Luxembourg sits at seven days.

There are four doctors per 1,000 inhabitants, matching the OECD average.
