Sunday 12 Apr 2015 - 11:54 Makkah mean time-23-6-1436  (Google image) Doha, (IINA) - Qatar has been ranked as the healthiest country in the world by the 24/7 Wall St, a US-based corporation which runs a financial news and opinion company with content delivered over the Internet, The Peninsula daily reported Sunday.
24/7 Wall St said it has reviewed a host of factors broadly categorized as health indicators, access measures, or the economy. Qatar led the countries reviewed with the highest overall score.
Among the 10 healthiest countries in the world, Norway came second while Switzerland and Luxembourg have been placed in the third and fourth positions respectively. Other countries in the top 10 are Japan, Iceland, Austria, Singapore, Sweden and Australia.
With 7.7 physicians per 1,000 people, more than any other country, Qatar’s health system is already very good. Qatar fared very well in health, access, and economic measures, largely on the strength of its relatively low overall death rate of 1.4 deaths per 1,000 people and relatively low maternal mortality rate.
