Preferred term

healthcare in South America  

Definition

  • Because it covers a vast area and includes an estimated population of almost 400 million, healthcare on the South American continent varies widely. In some areas, great strides have recently been made in improving health and healthcare systems, while in other, more primitive areas, there are few, if any, significant healthcare options.
