Several attempts at comparing national health systems have been made over the years. Some of the most comprehensive include:
Sustainable Development Goals Health Index
Healthcare Access and Quality Index – HAQ 2016 and HAQ 2019
World Health Organization’s World Health Report 2000
Commonwealth Fund “Mirror Mirror”
You can view a chart comparing health systems of selected nations or download a PDF of the chart.
World Health Systems Facts is a project of the Real Reporting Foundation. We provide reliable statistics and other data from authoritative sources regarding health systems and policies in the US and sixteen other nations.
