Supplementary notes
The Legatum Prosperity Index is a system that rates nations on how well they support the flourishing of their citizens, taking into account both economic and social well-being. It goes beyond conventional macroeconomic measures of a country's prosperity, which rely primarily on indications of wealth like average income per person (GDP per capita), it reflects the richness of a truly prosperous existence.
The health pillar evaluates the degree to which people are healthy and have access to the services required to sustain good health, including health outcomes, health systems, sickness and risk factors, and mortality rates. It is one of the 12 pillars of the prosperity index.
