The EIU's quality of death index measures different factors across five key categories — palliative and health-care environment, human resources, affordability of care, quality of care and community engagement.

According to the report, the U.K is the best area for quality of death care.

Nigeria ranked a whooping 4th in bottom four! Factors for low ranking might include lack of funding, lack of infrastructure, rapidly aging population groups, and lack of qualified medical staff.
