Other key points from Int Longevity Centre analysis: Countries in bottom half of Index have 4x worse access to doctors than the top half. Big gaps in universal health coverage too, but promisingly progress has been biggest among lower middle income countries. Preventionindex.org

60% of health is determined not in hospitals but in day-to-day life. We need to look at health- not sick care, says Singaporean Minister for Health. "The value in this Index is to benchmark best practice and give policymakers direction." @MOHSpore Int Longevity Centre

"What happened in the German elections?" and "Are young people to blame?"... two questions I've heard a lot over the last two weeks. I wrote a short blog on the results and why it's perhaps not really about demographics. @ilcuk ilcuk.org.uk/german-electio…
