This statistic shows the average pharmacy costs per person under the Dutch Health Insurance Act (Zvw) from 2009 to 2019. 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. In 2019, pharmacy costs for someone in the Netherlands amounted to an average of 274 euros per person.
