Britain’s healthcare system has far worse outcomes than almost all of its peers, a research published on Monday by the King’s Fund think-tank warned. The study compared 19 major nations and found the UK severely wanting.
Britain’s health service was second worst of all those examined for saving lives, with only the US faring worse. The UK was found to be worst at saving stroke victims and second worst at saving heart attack sufferers, while “underperforming significantly” on cancer and life expectancy.
Life expectancy was found to be one of the shortest among comparable nations, with only the US worse for women, and the US and Portugal worse for men.
It also scored third worst, after the US and Portugal, for efforts to keep citizens healthy.
