Health is vital to human well-being and happiness and also benefits the country at large in various ways as it plays an important contribution to the economic progress. This is attributed to the fact that health individuals or populations have higher life expectancy, are more productive and save more money. Health is mainly indicated by a countries life expectancy and also infant mortality rate as they reflect the countries health status and the ability of a country to provide quality health services to its people.

life expectancy and infant mortality rate.
Two very useful indicators of what a country or regions overall health are would be the life expectancy of the citizens and the mortality rate of infants. How long people live says a lot towards their health and life quality. If they have a high number of infant deaths, this generally points to an unhealthy society.
