An infographic from Medigo outlines the 15 countries with the best healthcare outcomes — as well as 15 of the highest spenders based on healthcare outcomes and cost index data from the 2014 Economist Intelligence Unit.
There are seven countries on both lists — with top quality and top costs. Eight countries among the highest spenders aren't in the top 15 for best outcomes, and eight countries with top outcomes manage to achieve those outcomes while still spending relatively small percentages of their GDP on healthcare.
The 15 countries with the best healthcare outcomes are:
1. Japan
2. Singapore
3 Switzerland
4. Italy
5. Australia
6. Iceland
7. Spain
8. Cyprus
9. Sweden
10. Israel
11. France
12. New Zealand
13. Canada
14. South Korea
