US Ranks 27th Best Place To Be A Mother

The non-profit organization Save the Children has released its list of best and worst places for mothers in the world. Surprisingly the United States came in at only 27. This means the myth of “great healthcare” in America is just that, a myth!

Our neighbors to the north, Canada, fared better at #20 but by far the best places to be a mother and infant would be the Nordic countries of Sweden, Norway and Iceland, followed by New Zealand, Denmark , Australia and Finland. Also not surprising were the lowest ranks in Niger, Chad, Sierra Leon and Yemen.

The report is available in pdf format here.
