Expenditure on health in Germany amounted to a 11.8 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2023. This share has been gradually increasing since 2000. In comparison to other European countries, this ranked Germany second in terms of health expenditure in 2022, preceded by Switzerland and followed by France, which spent 11.9 percent of its GDP on healthcare in this year.

The quality of German healthcare is generally regarded as good by the German population. In a survey of 12 European countries, 42 percent of German respondents rated the quality of their accessible healthcare as good or very good, and 21 percent regarded it as poor or very poor. Although, 47 percent of those surveyed trust the quality of the treatment offered in Germany, which was lower than the trust in some other western European countries.
