Rwanda – Since establishing a national health plan in 1999, Rwanda has insured about 91% of its population with health care.
Thailand – The WHO uses Thailand as an example of a low- or middle-income country that has been able to extend health coverage to all citizens.

Kuwait – The level of health care is comparable to average European standards, according to the WHO.
Chile – The Chilean constitution guarantees rights to health protection.
