“Conversely, as proportions of current health expenditure Spanish spending on long-term care (9 %) and prevention (3 %) are low compared to the EU averages – 16 % and 6 % respectively.”

“In the first year of the pandemic, with a rate of 143 deaths per 100,000 population from preventable causes and 62 deaths per 100,000 population for treatable causes (i.e. those that should not have occurred in the presence of timely and effective healthcare), Spain had among the lowest rates of avoidable mortality in the EU (Figure 11). Rates of preventable deaths had been declining\ incrementally in the years prior to the pandemic. However, as in most countries in Europe, deaths from COVID-19 led preventable mortality rates to rise significantly in Spain – from 110 deaths per 100,000 population in 2019 to 143 deaths per 100,000 population in 2020, an increase of 30 %. Nevertheless, lower rates of preventable mortality in Spain may be related in part to public policies and initiatives to minimise health risk factors (Box 1).”
