Why, why, why do some countries visit the doctor so much more than others? Is it because people are sicker? Or is healthcare just more accessible, affordable, or ingrained in cultural habits? This fascinating chart ranks countries by the number of in-person doctor visits per year (based on OECD data, 2021 or the latest available). But the numbers don’t tell the whole story—context matters. Healthcare systems, insurance models, traditional attitudes, and even proximity to a GP all play a role. So, what’s driving these differences? ? More frequent illness or an aging population? ? Affordable healthcare or universal systems? ? A cultural emphasis on regular checkups? What’s your take?
