Volkia's healthcare system dates from the Liberal governments of the 1930s and 1940s. Since the mid-1930s, provisions and reforms strengthened and overhauled the system to transform it into the robust {{Wp|universal healthcare}} system that is in place today. In 2018, Volkia spent 11.4% of its GDP on healthcare. Approximately 81% of health expenditures are covered by government funded agencies while the remaining 19% are privately funded.
 
Generally speaking healthcare is free for people suffering from {{Wp|chronic diseases}} such as cancer, cystic fibrosis, or hepatitis. Lupines tend to have slightly shorter lifespans than humans, though thanks to medical advancements and a dramatic decrease in inter-lupine violence Volkia's life expectancy has increased nearly 20 years since the 1930s. Today it now matches or exceeds that of other developed nations. As of 2018, the average life expectancy at birth is 71.6 years for men and 78.1 years for women.
