Εκτός από το υγεινομικό σύστημα μιας χώρας, η γενικότερη υγεία του πληθυσμού παίζει κυρίαρχο ρόλο στην ποιότητα ζωής και διαβίωσης.
Έχουν περάσει 75 χρόνια από την έναρξη λειτουργίας της Εθνικής Υπηρεσίας Υγείας του Ηνωμένου Βασιλείου,του πρώτου καθολικού συστήματος υγείας που είναι διαθέσιμο σε όλους, δωρεάν. Υπό αυτό το πρίσμα, θα δούμε πώς συγκρίνονται τα διαφορετικά συστήματα υγείας σε όλο τον κόσμο, χρησιμοποιώντας δεδομένα από το Legatum Prosperity Index, που δημιουργήθηκε από το The Legatum Institute Foundation, ενός think tank στο Λονδίνο.
Η κατάταξη των χωρών δημιουργήθηκε όχι μόνο με βάση το σύστημα υγειονομικής περίθαλψης (όπως η πρόσβαση σε υπηρεσίες υγείας) αλλά και την κατάσταση της υγείας του πληθυσμού τους (συμπεριλαμβανομένων των ποσοστών θνησιμότητας, ασθενειών και παράγοντες κινδύνου).
Ας ρίξουμε λοιπόν μια ματιά στις κορυφαίες 5 υγιέστερες αλλά και τις 5 πιο “άρρωστες” χώρες του κόσμου.

According to Prime Minister Firmin Ngrebada rebel attackers came in large numbers to take Bangui but were pushed back. The fighting comes in the wake of the disputed 27 December election where rebel groups have launched attacks on towns outside Bangui and now launched an attack on the capital. EPA/ADRIENNE SURPRENANT

epa10629413 South Sudanese returnees stay in the vicinity of the fluvial port of Renk as they wait to be transported south, in the Upper Nile State town of Renk, South Sudan, 14 May 2023 (issued 15 May 2023). According to Mohajer Mhadi Khalifa, head of the boats union in charge of regulating the transport on the Nile in Renk, five boats are planned to transport the returnees to their areas of origin on the Nile towards the Southern Town of Malakal and other locations. On 14 May 2023 a group of 348 people embarked for the trip, following 577 others who made the same trip the previous day after days of waiting in the fluvial port of Renk. The transport was coordinated and organized by the IOM, Caritas and the RCC (the South Sudanese Relief and Rehabilitation Commission). According to the United Nations, some 200,000 people have fled the conflict in Sudan between 15 April and 12 May 2023. Most of them left towards neighboring countries such as Egypt, Tchad, South Sudan or Ethiopia, and about two million people were internally displaced. Leaving behind them the armed conflict between the Sudanese military and the RSF (Rapid Support Forces) militia, most of the refugees in South Sudan are South Sudanese returnees, part of the some 800,000 who had previously fled the war in South Sudan and who are now returning to a country which is barely out of conflict itself with tensions still remaining in many areas.
