The WHO rankings have been criticized for a long time.  They are biased in their underlying assumptions toward statist systems.  One thing they've wildly distorted is infant mortality.  The US counts the death of any infant, even those extremely premature, as an infant death, while some eurostatist countries don't count such deaths unless the infant lived a certain legth of time before dying.  Voila, instant low infant mortality rates.


Here's a CATO study of how it's rigged - read up.
