Forbes.com has assembled a list of the world’s 15 healthiest countries, among them:
Iceland
Sweden
Finland
Germany
Switzerland
Australia
Denmark
Canada
Austria
Netherlands
“Historically, these countries had an ethic of having more of a nationalized health care system. There’s this mentality that health care should be a given right for citizens.
Despite the fact that an estimated 47 million Americans lack health insurance, the U.S . ranked 11.”

Interesting…
This is a bias list. Saudi Arabia should be among the top ten.
What i noticed from the link. We do not need more doctors to become a healthy nation.
8. Canada
The Great White North has the list’s lowest number of doctors per capita, or 2.1 for every 1,000. Still, Canadians enjoy one of the world’s longest life expectancies and one of the lowest TB rates, or 3.6 per 100,000 people. A relatively high infant mortality rate, 5 deaths per 1,000 live births, also lands Canada in spot eight.
