Every country in the world approaches health care differently, but the end goal is the same: Keep citizens as healthy as possible at the lowest cost. Some countries spend a lot on health care, but see don’t see great benefits for those expenditures among their citizens. Others, at least by the metrics below, are finding ways to reach both goals. This infographic is a look at 12 countries around the world that examines how far the money they spend on health care goes toward affecting the health of their citizens.

A collaboration between GOOD and Way Shape Form, in partnership with GE.
