You asked what happened in "those countries" but, then did not list what countries are being considered. Please list the countries in order to give a full understanding to the question.

Answer:

For a first world country, we have many options when we are sick. If we have a cold, depending on where you live, you can just go directly to a doctor most likely within fifty miles. If you were to have a heart attack and need immediate assistance, then you could call an ambulance and one will come and bring you to the hospital. There are well-trained professionals to help treat any illness you may have. There is more than one specialist and they can help you with your different diseases. For example, there will be a cardiologist for your heart instead of just a normal doctor. In England, health care is free and you will have no cost for seeing a doctor. However, in a third world country, eighty percent of people have to rely on local health care for health care. They also have to go to poorly trained doctors and poorly equipped health facilities. There is no 911 for them to call and they often have to walk several miles to get to a hospital, often taking them several days. People with chronic illnesses most of the time can’t afford a doctor or treatment and will remain sick until they die. In conclusion, we are extremely lucky to have the healthcare systems we do. We can catch a cold and it not be a death sentence.
