Countries that get the most out of their healthcare

The US spends far more on healthcare than any other country in the world, yet when it comes to quality and accessibility of care it lags behind on the global rankings. To evaluate the effectiveness of healthcare systems we’ve compared the healthcare rankings from the Legatum Prosperity Index 2019, which uses life expectancy, infant mortality and other measures of physical and mental health to determine an overall health score per country, with the World Bank's data on how much citizens have to pay for their medical care. We've crunched the numbers to determine which country's citizens receive the best healthcare for the best price, so click or scroll through to find out who they are.
