You are to research and analyse health care performance data in at least two countries one of which must be Australia and write an essay of 3000 words comparing the following five (5) areas for each country.  (Be careful to pick the other country that is comparable and has the quality of data required to complete the comparison).


The areas for comparison are listed below:
    Funding System (including health insurance systems)
    Governance System
    Selected Population Health Indicators
        Maternal Mortality Rate
        Infant Mortality Rate
        Life Expectancy at Birth
    Health Status
        Low birth weight
        Obesity
        Diabetes
        Asthma
        Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
        Cancer
    Health System Performance
        % GDP Spent on Health
        Define each of the following measures and provide the results and commentary for comparison that the countries use to demonstrate that health care is:
            Acceptable
            Appropriate
            Effective
            Efficient
            Safe


Where no data is available on the individual measure you must indicate this clearly but be sure that you carefully research to make sure that this is, in fact, the case.
