Comparison of the healthcare system in the D.R.Congo and France

Healthcare systems are not the same throughout the world depending on the history traditions and politics of each country as well as its socio-cultural and economic factors etc. (UNICAF University 2022). As a result comparing countries' healthcare systems remains an elusive exercise (Schieber and Pouiller 1990 as cited in Kananovich 2021). Moreover it is very laborious to determine precisely an ideal healthcare system. However to establish a healthcare system that comes close to the ideal it should be noted that health depends not only on medical care but also on the reduction of social and cultural inequalities and harmful behaviors in society (Stasse 2012). The French healthcare system is more improved than that of the DRC and the French population is healthier than the Congolese population. An ideal healthcare system for the DRC is one that provides quality care accessible to the population even the poorest with financial and geographical accessibility in a context of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) with the removal of socio-cultural barriers through awareness-raising campaigns that also involve the community. A healthcare system capable of coping with the various epidemics that arise in the country with a sufficient number of well-trained well-paid quality personnel.
