Public health and Covid-19 in San Marino

Healthcare in San Marino

Healthcare in San Marino is one of the most effective worldwide.

Probably the most important indicator that can be used to summarize the efficiency of all measures is general life expectancy. In other words, the theoretical age that a newborn child could potentially reach today. At the moment this age in San Marino is 84.1 years for men and 86.8 years for women. For comparison: worldwide life expectancy is about 12.6 years lower (men: 70.6 / women: 75.1 years).

A total of 3,050.92 USD per inhabitant is spent annually on health measures at state expense. This corresponds to approximately 6.4% of the gross domestic product. Internationally, this amount averages 1,121.97 USD (~ 9.8% of the respective GDP).

Medical supplies

Public health and Covid-19 in San MarinoThe medical care provided by doctors and hospitals in San Marino is above average, but is not as good as the average within the EU. The country provides 3.8 hospital beds per 1000 inhabitants. The global mean here is 2.9 beds. Within the EU, 4.6 beds are available for every 1,000 residents.

With about 209 physicians in San Marino, there are about 6.15 doctors per 1000 inhabitants. Here again the comparison: worldwide this standard is 1.50 physicians per 1000 inhabitants and in the EU even 3.57.



Supply with drinking water

The drinking water supply in San Marino is 100% tapped for all inhabitants. Only very few countries achieve this standard, where every inhabitant has a water connection in the immediate vicinity with tested drinking water. In a global comparison, only about 74% of the population has direct access to tested and always available drinking water. Within the European Union, this share is 98%. Only in a few countries does the proportion fall below 10%.
