HAQ the Pandemic
Healthcare systems are crucial to controlling a pandemic. A 2016 study by The Lancet showed that Iceland had the best healthcare system, with a Healthcare Access and Quality (HAQ) index of 97.1. South Africa has a HAQ index of 50, number 127 out of 195 countries. Iceland has the second highest rate of COVID-19 tests, at 183/1000, compared to South Africa’s 15/1000.
