The Irish are living longer, better lives thanks to healthcare expansion. A new report finds 79.5% of residents in good or very good health, the highest in the EU, and life expectancy at 82.6 years, the fifth highest. Mortality rates decreased between 2014 and 2023, with cancer down by 14.7% and heart disease by 27.7%. The government also covered 77.4% of total health expenditure in 2023, reducing reliance on out-of-pocket costs. Euractiv https://buff.ly/4hW2gEk
