If a country’s average doctor visits are high, it could be easy to assume the population isn’t healthy. At the same time not going enough may seem like there’s an accessibility issue.

These visits are helped by the country’s famously fast and efficient healthcare sector.

However, unlike the U.S., its national insurance program covers over 70% of the medical bills, lessening individual costs.
