(26,624 posts)Health care for all, and shows that they rank higher than the United States as being healthier.
"Israel's high standards of health services, top-quality medical resources and research, modern hospital facilities, and an impressive ratio of physicians and specialists to population are reflected in the countrys low infant mortality rate (3.6 per 1,000 live births in 2010) and long life expectancy (81.5 years, average in 2010). Health care for all, from infancy to old age, is ensured by law and the national expenditure on health compares favorably with that of other developed countries.
In November 2015 Bloomberg ranked Israel the sixth healthiest country in the world, taking into account data from the United Nations, the World Bank and the World Health Organization. Israel was the only Middle-Eastern country to appear in the top 10, and the United States, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Sweden, and U.K., all ranked lower than Israel on the list."
