India’s healthcare system is also comparatively dismal.
India allocates around 600 rupees (~$7) to each person, but
>The healthcare crisis becomes more acute when we consider the price of vaccinating one child, against all childhood illnesses—a princely sum of 1,600 rupees, and that is just the beginning.
The U.S. spends around $3300 per person on healthcare by the given numbers. Total spending is pretty misleading. It should at least be presented as spending per capita, then those numbers compared to health outcomes.
Also, the graph has the “zero” at a different spot per country, so it’s impossible to compare the actual ratios of spending.
