The primary
care score has two parts: the first reflects the strength of health policies
oriented toward primary care and those reflecting the actual practice of
primary care. In this chart, the countries are ranked by each of their two
sub-scores. The country with the best sub-score is ranked #1, and the one
with the worst sub-score is ranked #13. The better the policies (systems
rankings), the better the practices, indicating the importance of
governmental policy to good practice. Based on data
in Starfield B, Shi L. Policy relevant determinants of health: an
international perspective. Health Policy 2002; 60(3):201-218.
