How we calculate these rankings

We average safety and healthcare scores (equal weight). Higher combined scores rank higher. The table includes every country in our catalog and is generated at build time from our latest editorial model.

What this does not measure: Your insurance plan, neighborhood crime maps, or specialist wait times for one condition.

Updates: Rankings refresh when we redeploy after underlying country data changes.
