Life expectancy is not solely determined by medical care though, there are many confounding factors which are, if anything, far more important than medical care. Ranging from genetic to cultural to socio-economic. Edit: Also, health related statics can be tricky things to measure correctly, even though it may seem simple. It can depend on how countries define live births, for example, which varies greatly from country to country. Moreover, it's not necessarily a good proxy for "health". If someone breaks their arm, for example, and is unable to get it set by a doctor then they could live the entire rest of their life with a disabling injury, perhaps with a great deal of pain, even though they may end up living just as long as anyone else. Similarly, someone may spend the last decade of their life in a very pitiable state, suffering from dementia or alzheimer's and being mistreated often though receiving enough care to live a long life while someone in another country may receive a far better level of care in their old age but die earlier because they had better access to unhealthy foods throughout their life. Or, someone may live longer through heroic means of end-of-life care (intubation, forced feedings, resuscitation, artificial respiration, etc.) which extends their nominal life though may not extend the time period of their life where they are actually properly living. Even more importantly, this is just a shitty infographic, there is no sourcing, no description of the methodology and standards of data gathering and analysis. And yet this comes from an alleged news organization. The quality of this "report" is below the standard that would be accepted in elementary school.
