Outdated information

This data is too outdated and needs to be updated according to latest WHO report. Harsh7681 (talk) 04:33, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Link to the latest report. Rupert Loup (talk) 17:40, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I saw a youtube video about a travel advisory that negatively affected my home country of Jamaica, where it seemed almost like some kind of conspiracy was in play to slander and disparage our good name.

I tried to attach the link, but Wiki said no. If you're curious you can just go to youtube and search for "Jamaica Travel Advisory DEBUNKED"

I'm here because a large part of the reason for singling Jamaica out is our supposedly inadequate medical services, when in reality we have ton of doctors down here, and a ton of well equipped medical facilities. I wanted to see a list comparing us to other counrties ...but then this list also seems to be unreliable. 72.252.176.238 (talk) 13:44, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear information

Their is a size measurement for each country with no indication what the unit of measure is. It's not population and it's not area ... or, if it is one of those, the data is full of errors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ronmio (talk • contribs) 20:24, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Page difficult to maintain

I stumbled here due to a research for my son, this page is not easy to maintain. The idea to show trends per year is nice but is not realistic that there will be somebody every single year to update the page from the original WHO report. I just added the link at the end.

300 Physicians in Tanzania?

In a country of 66 million really people believe we only have 300 doctors here😂😂😂😂 we have more than 20,000 actually 196.249.92.9 (talk) 12:33, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

General criticism

Hard to believe that Australia changes from 10 to 32.7. If true cries out for explanatory note. The list is not even in alphabetic order in the lower half. This is clearly a work in progress not really fit to be seen at present. 80.229.167.229 (talk) 05:03, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
