Average healthcare costs per person under Dutch Health Insurance Act (Zvw) 2009-2021
In 2021, healthcare costs under the Dutch Health Insurance Act (Zvw) amounted to an average of euros per person for every resident in the Netherlands. This is an increase when compared to the previous year.
The Dutch health insurance system as it is now was introduced in 2006 and combines elements of both public as well as private insurance. It is mandatory to have at least a basic health insurance (in Dutch: basisverzekering) when you work in the Netherlands, because healthcare is funded through taxation of income.
