As i mentioned before 19 has shown up just how much or how little is spent on health care in some countries but throwing a whole lot of money at a problem does not necessarily insure the best outcome lets have a look at what Health Care Cost around the world before the pandemic and what you get for your money as we are about to see we in germany a pretty lucky when it comes to results isnt facilities the question is upgrading care in poor countries. Our world is becoming ever more densely populated during the coronavirus pandemic Good Health Care is more important than ever but that costs money. Front run it is the United States which even in normal times spends nearly 17 percent of its g. D. P. On health care switzerland germany and austria follow. Although its the costliest the us system is not necessarily the best. Patients who cant afford insurance or unable to pay cash often only seek treatment once theyre very sick. Looking at the number of intensive care beds germany went into the pandemic best equipped followed by austria the United States was in 3rd place followed by other e. U. Member states. Intensive care beds are a key factor especially in times like these an average day in the German Health care system even when there is no pandemic raging looks Something Like this 4000000 people see a doctor. 50000 people are sent to hospital. 2000000. 00 packs of drugs and medicines are prescribed each day in germany.

Filed a case with a high court questioning the lack of access to Public Toilets for women they found there were no toilets for women in crowded areas in the city near the main bus station or in markets so thats why we approved these toilets made out of old buses. That will be good for. A lack of toilets is not just a minor problem in india its a cause of extreme discomfort for many and can also lead to Serious Health issues.
