  1. Healthcare In Rich Countries, From Best To Worst

  2. 11. United Kingdom The United Kingdom ranks first as the best healthcare system among wealthy nations. The country’s healthcare is administered universally by the National Health Service (NHS), so there are no direct costs to patients.

  3. 10. Switzerland Switzerland does extremely well in the Equity category of treating every patient equally regardless of class or income-level. They outrank most countries for the timeliness of treatment and allow the most access to elective or non-emergency surgeries.

  4. 9. Sweden Sweden ranks high in some categories (and sub-categories) as defined by the CWF, but low in others. For Efficiency and Healthy Lives, it ranks second and first, respectively.

  5. 8. Australia Like every country on this list except the United States, Australia has a universal healthcare system. Australia does well in delivering recommended treatments for chronically ill patients, but ranks low in certain categories like Access.

  6. 7. Germany Although Germany provides universal health coverage with little costs and delays in delivering services, it is “markedly below international leaders” when quickly alerting patients of potentially serious complication.

  7. 6. Netherlands Despite the Netherlands having quick access to medical services under a universal system, the country generally ranks quite low for healthcare when compared to other countries. A large percentage of doctors report they have solid information with which to provide patients applicable, relevant feedback.

  8. 5. New Zealand According to the CFW's Overall Rank, New Zealand ties with Norway for their healthcare. New Zealand's health system was essentially public since the 20th century, but, in the last 30 years, insurance has been introduced which intersects public and private healthcare options.

  9. 4. Norway Norway ranks very last in healthcare Quality which includes the effective, safe and coordinated patient care. Additionally, patients in Norway report the highest number of incidences of medical errors.

  10. 3. France France, although ranking high in the Healthy Lives category, ranks alongside Norway in how well they communicate with patients on both a short and long-term basis. They also rank very low for Patient Engagement and Patient Preferences, making it difficult for patients to receive the type or method of care that suits them best.

  11. 2. Canada Despite the misconception that patients will have long wait times for services in a universal healthcare system, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom rank the highest for Access to Care. However, Canada’s healthcare system in particular has considerably long wait times.

  12. 1. United States The United States, although ranking as one of the richest countries in the world, ranks the lowest for healthcare, according to the CWF. Their healthcare is also, notably, privatized and among the most expensive in the world.
