How the Healthcare Score Is Calculated

The overall score is a weighted average across twelve indicators. Nomadino calculates: Healthcare score = healthcare quality × 0.20 + universal healthcare coverage × 0.15 + emergency care × 0.12 + medicine access × 0.10 + patient safety × 0.10 + health insurance for foreigners × 0.08 + out-of-pocket health expenditure × 0.08 + doctor density × 0.06 + hospital beds × 0.04 + resident healthcare coverage × 0.04 + specialist visit cost × 0.02 + English-speaking doctors × 0.01.

Healthcare quality: 20%
Universal healthcare coverage: 15%
Emergency care: 12%
Medicine access: 10%
Patient safety and hospital infections: 10%
Health insurance for foreigners: 8%
Out-of-pocket health expenditure: 8%
Doctor density: 6%
Hospital beds: 4%
Resident healthcare coverage: 4%
Specialist visit cost: 2%
English-speaking doctors: 1%

Medical quality, broad access, emergency care, medicines and patient safety receive the highest weights because they most directly determine whether care is reachable, effective and reliable. Financial protection also matters, so countries with high direct household payments or weakly usable coverage do not rank too highly. Pure capacity measures such as doctor density and hospital beds remain relevant, but are weighted lower because more staff or beds alone do not guarantee better treatment. Expat-specific usability such as foreigner insurance, specialist costs and English-speaking doctors is included, but should not outweigh core medical performance.
