This study forecasts an increase in Norway’s health spending from 10.6% of GDP in 2022 to 14.3% by 2050, driven primarily by population growth, aging, and rising costs per case. While the overall expenditure growth is inevitable, improving resource allocation and reducing behavioral risk factors can help manage spending while promoting a healthier population.
