As we move to a different country to start a new living and career, one of the most concerning issues would be healthcare services in the host country. No matter how big our income is, it is important that the country offers good public and private healthcare systems.
Unfortunately, not all countries have well laid systems. But it would be brilliantly useful if all nations take up healthcare initiatives. However if you are looking to move to a different country, specially any first world nation—here is the list of countries that have best healthcare systems compiled by The Richest. They measured the life expectancy, healthcare costs, and overall efficiency in various countries and listed the 10 best countries that have ‘Awesome’ healthcare.
#10 Sweden:
Sweden is not just a country that has a well laid healthcare system; it is also one of the few safest countries in the world. The country offers best of the public and private healthcare systems. The government funds 97 percent of medical costs for their people and individuals take care of the remaining 3 percent. Sweden is also gifted with beautiful weather which makes staying there a pleasure.
#9 Switzerland:
There is something more than Swiss Alps in this country. Average life expectancy of as of 2012 is 80.5 years for men and 85 years for women. 
It is needless to mention that this life expectancy is impossible to achieve without the country’s comprehensive healthcare system. Swiss citizens are required to get a health insurance to be used when necessary. The government pays major portion of the medical expenses and the individual’s insurance takes care of the remaining. This means people across the world are all the more attracted to this paradise on Earth.
#8 South Korea:
The world is well aware of the environmental hassles in South Korea. The obvious result of deteriorating fresh air is a constant concern. Therefore, it is ultimately the government that needs to take care of its people. Accordingly, the South Korean government is doing the needful by taking care of almost 100 percent of the medical costs. With an efficiency score of about 65.1 percent, one can very well say that it is generous and thoughtful initiative.
#7 Australia:
Australia is gaining a lot of attention like never before. Many are now heading to Australia from all over the world to pursue higher education or to kick-start a bright career. 
Well here is the good news for all those who have set their eyes on Australia; the country has very an excellent healthcare system to compliment its world class lifestyle. So far it was only the picturesque cities and natural beauty that attracted people to Australia. Federal Government’s Universal Healthcare system covers 75 percent of the medical expenses whereas 25 percent is funded by the private health insurance system. This system is reportedly 66 percent efficient. Citizens who are financially weak can get a ‘Low Income Earners’ card on the basis of which, their medical costs are subsidized generously.
#6 Italy:
The healthcare system here is just as good as Australia. Italy has perfect mix of public-private healthcare structure and it has an average life expectancy rate 82 years. Surgeries and hospitalization charges are free services which both public and private conventional hospitals offer. And the most exciting part is that all emergency cases are completely free for the residents, both legal and undocumented. With such kinds of services who wouldn’t want be in the renaissance nation.
Aside from an excellent state-run healthcare system, Spain is well known for its very competent doctors, well-trained nurses, and top-of-the line hospital facilities. Prescription medicines are paid for via the co-payment system, in which the residents are required to pay for a small portion of their medicines, while the bulk is covered by the state.
#4 Israel:
Here comes the pleasant surprise you wouldn’t have expected. Ranked fourth in the world in terms of efficiency, Israel’s healthcare is deemed as the fundamental right for its people. This system is universal and requires all Israelis to participate in medical insurance with the option for individuals to purchase their own respective healthcare policies to increase their coverage. This government-run system is one of the most technologically advanced in the world with state-of-the-art facilities and well-trained doctors and nurses. And the exciting thing is, Israel is fast becoming a popular destination for medical tourists!
#3 Japan:
West meets the East! Japan has advanced medical technology that is on par with the first world nations. Japan provides universal healthcare coverage, which subsidizes a large portion of the medical expenses. An employed citizen usually gets additional private coverage from his employer, but Japan is greatly considerate of its citizens who are struggling with wages and unemployment. Medical fees are waived for the homeless and low-income households who are receiving government subsidy.
#2 Singapore:
Singapore’s healthcare system is apparently very difficult to replicate. It’s efficient in terms of financing and benefits, a rare combination that renders the system excellent. Aside from the government’s system, the private healthcare in Singapore is equally efficient, so its citizens get more than adequate care, whether it’s from the public or private sector. This is the only country in the list that gets equal contribution from both private and public sector.
#1 Hong Kong:
Hong Kong is considered to have the best healthcare in the world, due in part to its well-developed medical system. Its life expectancy rate is one of the highest and infant mortality rates are one of the lowest in the world and this is largely due to the government’s advocacy on good healthcare. Hong Kong has well structured dual-track system, meaning medical services are offered by both the government and private sector.
