South Korea has the world's number one healthcare quality with an index score of 78.72 points. The South Korean government began investing in healthcare services from the early stages of its development.
In the 1950s, the government established immunization centers in every city and village. In the 1960s, the South Korean government began implementing incentives to ensure that doctors were available in every region.
Health education also had a significant impact in South Korea. Before its citizens had access to quality schools, government agencies disseminated vital information on sanitation, food hygiene, immunization, maternal and child health, and family planning.
CEOWorld magazine measured the healthcare index by considering several factors, including the capabilities of healthcare professionals, price, availability of quality medicines, government preparedness, environment, access to clean water, and sanitation.
