Malawi has the worst doctor to patient ratio in the world. There's only 1 for every 50,000 people!

The doctor to patient ratio represents the number of doctors in a country compared to the number of citizens.

Countries with a lower ratio generally have better medical care. At the top of the list is surprisingly Cuba, with a ratio of 1: 170.

This means that technically every doctor would have to care for only 170 people. Poorer African countries generally round out the bottom of the list, with Malawi stark last at 1:50,000!

One doctor caring for 50,000 people is impossible, so recently efforts are being made to disperse medical knowledge and increase the amount of doctors.

Unfortunately, Malawi and other African countries are extremely poor and very corrupt. Funds that should be directed toward medical care are often taken for personal gain by corrupt government officials.
