5 Countries With Limited Access To Healthcare

2. Malawi  

Physicians per Million People: 19 

Malawi has one of the worst healthcare systems. Surgical conditions account for 26.9% of reported deaths, with many occurring outside health facilities due to limited access. Only 21.3% of deaths from treatable surgical conditions receive surgical care, highlighting access gaps. Prevalent diseases include diarrhea (5154 cases per 1000 children aged 0-4), cataracts, and measles. With a GDP per capita of US$411 in 2019, Malawi’s healthcare expenditure was 7% of GDP, reflecting economic constraints.
