Field notes
Country tables use approximate age-standardized death rates per 100,000 and cite GBD/WHO/OECD-style sources; the page flags possible dementia under-counting in Africa and warns that microstate rankings can swing on small numbers. A modeled hospital is specified at 552 beds, 92,000 emergency visits, and 28,400 discharges, but its prices are described as illustrative national mid/high benchmarks rather than a real chargemaster. The proposed price-posting clinic is explicitly described as not yet existing.
