🩺 Health Risk Index by Country — World Ranking

Score 0–100, higher = better healthcare (lower risk). Computed from 7 official indicators (WHO GHO & World Bank Open Data), weighted by UHC coverage (25%), life expectancy (20%), immunization rates (15%), DALYs (15%), physicians (10%) and hospital beds (10%), health expenditure (5%). Missing values are compensated by weight re-normalization.

The Health Risk Index answers the most common questions in medical travel planning: Which country has the best healthcare? How reliable is medical care in Spain, Portugal or Turkey? And where is the risk of infection from measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases elevated? The answers are based on official data: the WHO UHC index (top: Canada at 92 points, followed by Iceland at 90), World Bank life expectancy (Japan 84.0 years, Switzerland 83.6, Spain 83.1) and DTP3 immunization coverage. For travelers, expats and digital nomads the index is an objective compass: it shows at a glance whether a Western-level health system exists at the destination, or whether vaccinations, a travel medical kit and travel insurance with medical evacuation are essential. All 217 listed countries can be filtered by score and region; each row links to the full country profile with an overall risk assessment combining crime, climate and infrastructure.
