The best countries in Africa to live in, in terms of education and healthcare are?

South Africa and Kenya rank highest in terms of healthcare quality in Africa as of 2023. South Africa's healthcare system leads the continent with a Health Care Index score of 63.97, followed by Kenya at 63.40.

South Africa's health system offers medical services comparable to its European, Asian, and American counterparts. The public sector, state-funded and catering to 71% of the population, works in tandem with the private sector, which is funded mainly through individual contributions to medical aid schemes or health insurance, serving around 27% of the population. The implementation of the National Health Insurance (NHI) scheme provides more free services for all citizens, aiming to improve the quality of public healthcare irrespective of socio-economic status.

Kenya, occupying the second spot, has made significant strides in expanding access to primary health care services, leading to its ascension in the rankings. Despite the progress, the quality of healthcare in Africa generally remains substandard compared to other parts of the world, leading many Africans to seek medical attention abroad.

Regarding education, Seychelles was the highest-ranked African country in terms of education, according to the Human Development Index. However, it's important to note that the quality of education in Tunisia, Mauritius, and South Africa were also among the best in Africa, however, it can vary greatly within a country, and many factors, such as the specific location and the level of education (primary, secondary, tertiary), can significantly impact the quality of education a person receives.

Seychelles: The Republic of Seychelles, an archipelago in the Indian Ocean, has a highly regarded education system. It is the only African country to rank within the top 50 globally, placing 43rd. Seychelles is also recognized for having successfully achieved UNESCO's "education for all" goal. The country has a literacy rate of 95.87% and mandates education until the age of 16, with free education available until the age of 18. The country also boasts the University of Seychelles, founded in 2009, which houses students across two campuses.

Tunisia: Tunisia places considerable emphasis on education, investing 20% of its national budget into the sector. Education is compulsory and free for all citizens until the completion of secondary education. Globally, Tunisia ranks 71st in terms of its education system. It is also highly rated in primary education and in mathematics and science education. According to the World Economic Forum, Tunisia ranks 3rd in Mathematics and Science Education.

Mauritius has performed exceptionally well in mathematics and science education, ranking 2nd globally according to the World Economic Forum. It also ranks 47th globally in vocational training.

South Africa: South Africa has made significant investments in its education system, allocating an estimated 18% of the country's budget to education.

While these countries have strong education systems, it's important to note that the "best" country to live in will depend on a variety of factors beyond education and healthcare, such as cultural fit, climate, lifestyle, and individual or family needs.
