Australia ranks second in the world for healthcare.
Healthcare has always been an important measure of a country's livability index as well as its well-being, while healthcare capacity also serves as an important pillar in a country's social development.
Australia, as one of the most livable places in the world, has always been the first choice for immigrants from all over the world, not only because of its sparsely populated and beautiful scenery, but also because of its advanced medical level and generous medical welfare protection, which has also become the most important thing for immigrants. The Australian government has also been working to improve the quality of life in the country, with the introduction of the newest and most advanced hospitals in Adelaide.
Australia's hospitals are usually divided into two categories, public and private, and the number of both is almost equally divided among all Australian hospitals.
In the public healthcare system, medical costs are paid for by the Australian government and individuals, and public hospitals are funded and managed by the Australian government. In the event of an emergency, the emergency room of a public hospital is usually the first place to go. To see a doctor in the public healthcare system, you must have a Medicare card (Medicare is the name of the national publicly-funded healthcare system and is an agency of the Australian government).
Australia is proud of its many medical and scientific achievements, such as ultrasound imaging to check on pregnant women, penicillin, a drug that has saved countless lives, and the electrically-powered pacemaker, all of which were invented by Australian scientists. Australia has produced more than a dozen Nobel Prize winners.
