- The Legatum Prosperity Index tracks each country’s level of propserity across twelve composite categories, one of which is overall health (shown here). Higher numbers indicate worse average health.
- The Bloomberg Global Health Index evaluates each country across a range of indicators, ranging from pollution levels and availability of clean water to access to quality health care. Higher scores are preferable.
- The Global Health Security (GHS) Index measures a country’s ability to respond to a widespread health threat (such as the COVID-19 pandemic). Higher scores are preferable.
