Hong Kong has one of the highest life expectancy of the world and a major contributing factor is high population density. Paramedics are able (and must) arrive within 12 minutes of an emergency call, which is probably the most important time to keep people alive. Doesn't mean Hong Kong is a decent place to live though.
- agentgumshoe 3y agoHave you got a source for that? But your point is valid, life expectancy is not the same as quality of life. I'd personally rather live five years less and be in great general health than be slogging through pain and medical bingo for my last 10 years.
