In this regard, the developed nations rely on traditional medicine health care system model which engages doctors, nursing staff, pharmacists, and healthcare experts and professionals to deliver medicines and surgeries to provide individuals with health care services. Holistic medication or Naturopathic emphasizes the overall wellbeing and treatment of an individual. The developed countries invest a reasonable amount of their budget to their healthcare system. However, the developing and underdeveloped countries lack resources as compared to developing nations. As a result of inadequate resources, the developing and underdeveloped nations do not allocate required resources in their health sector which affects the overall health of the population at large scale regarding life expectancy, infant mortality rate, maternal mortality rate, prevention against diseases, and the crude death rate.
