Overview

Every country has a weak point. Poland's happens to be political institutions, where political polarization ranks worse than 72% of the 72 countries on this list. Healthcare financing and public health policy aren't doing much better, landing at the 46th and 42nd percentiles respectively. Overall, that puts Poland at #49 — #49 Most Cooked.

Overall score: 22/100 — 5 points below the global median of 27 (higher = more cooked). Where the system is holding up: homicide rate (Homicide 0.8/100k) — better than 79% of countries tracked. The story here isn't the country — it's the political institutions stack behind these numbers.
