North Macedonia was ranked 79th globally in the Numbeo Healthcare Index, placing it among the 25 countries with the lowest user evaluations of healthcare. This comparative index is not an official measure from the World Health Organization but rather a table compiled based on user opinions and lived experiences concerning the quality of health services. The evaluation criteria encompass various aspects, including the quality of equipment, proficiency of staff and doctors, speed of service, accessibility, and associated costs.
According to Numbeo’s primary data, North Macedonia recorded a Healthcare Index score of 55.4 and a Healthcare Experience Index of 99.3, positioning it 79th out of 100 countries in the 2026 ranking. In this comparative analysis, Ukraine reported a slightly higher index score of 55.8, followed by Georgia with a score of 56.3. The ranking suggests a comparative assessment of the overall healthcare system’s perceived quality.
While the index provides valuable insights derived from user feedback regarding patient experiences, it should be noted that it does not constitute an official governmental or international health standard. The data serves as a comparative tool reflecting public perception across key service areas.
